As summer break comes to a close in South Florida, students are preparing to return to public schools with new cell phone bans in place. This change may require an adjustment for many children. Researchers have been studying the effects of cell phone policies in classrooms.

An Associate Professor of Education Research has noted positive social interactions among students when devices are not present. Further information on the study and its findings can be found through the original source, WSVN 7 News. Details on the specific policies and their implementation in South Florida schools are also available from this source.
