Last week the Los Angeles Unified School District took a big step in favor of common sense: It voted to ban mobile-phone use during school days. Other districts should follow its lead, starting with the largest one in the country: New York City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two decades ago, our administration banned mobile phones in all public schools, despite the storm of protests it generated. The ban was one of many policy changes that allowed us to transform the school system in ways that dramatically raised student achievement levels. Although it was undone by our successor, public support for mobile-phone bans has grown nationally \u2014 and across party lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teachers know all too well how disruptive phones are to learning, with 72% of high school teachers nationwide calling phone use a \u201cmajor problem.\u201d No wonder: One\u00a0study<\/a>\u00a0found that 97% of teens use their phones during school hours, receiving a median of 237 push notifications a day. Much of that screen time consists of playing video games, browsing social media and watching pornography \u2014 not exactly the three R\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
