  9. More students head back to class without one crucial thing: their phones

    Sequoia Carrillo, September 1, 2025

    Excerpt: "In Texas, every public and charter school student will be without their phones during the school day this fall. Brigette Whaley, an associate professor of education at West Texas A&M University, expects to see "a more equitable environment" in classrooms with higher student engagement.

    "Last year, she tracked the success of a cell phone ban in one west Texas high school by surveying teachers throughout the year. They reported more participation by students, and also said they saw student anxiety plummet – mainly because students weren't afraid of being filmed at any moment and embarrassing themselves.

    " 'They could relax in the classroom and participate,' she said. 'And not be so anxious about what other students were doing.'

    "The findings in west Texas align with results from many of the states and districts that are heading back to school without phones: Students learn better in a #PhoneFree environment. Getting cell phones out of the classroom is a rare issue with significant bipartisan support, allowing a rapid adoption of policies across red and blue states alike.

    "Some 31 states and the District of Columbia now restrict students' use of #CellPhones in schools, according to Education Week."

  14. Our phones, Instagram and TikTok
    Make our vacations quite a shock
    "Look around," we implore
    "Put your phone down once more"
    When in Rome or Cabo, or Tokyo

  15. I wonder how I was able to get by without a cell phone in my early twenties. Today, it has become something like a body part or at least an indispensable piece of clothing, like underpants. Even for me... And when someone voluntarily puts it aside, it's already in the press. #phoneFree #detox blog.getclearspace.com/we-ran-
