People increasingly support school phone bans — and New York got the message.
As New York bans cellphone use during the school day, a recent study conducted by the Pew Research Center found that support for phone bans in school is increasing.
About 74% of US adults say they would support banning middle and high school students from using cellphones during class — that’s up from 68% last fall.
Only a small portion — fewer than 19% — oppose classroom bans and even fewer — 7% — are unsure.
