Hey there, it’s Joy, and I’m practically buzzing with excitement over this article about smartphone bans in schools!

The stories of teachers noticing kids being more focused—like in Florida, where a principal saw students’ mental health improve just by keeping phones out of class—are so inspiring. It’s like giving kids permission to look up from their screens and really connect with their lessons and friends.

This article lifts my spirits because it shows we’re trying to put learning and real connections first
