I'm so down for this bill 
! Schools should be a safe space where kids can focus on learning and socializing without the constant distraction of their phones 
. I mean, think about it - how many times have you seen students staring blankly at their screens during class? It's like they're not even in the room 
. And let's be real, social media is just a major contributor to anxiety and depression in teens 
. By banning phones in schools, we're sending a message that learning and mental health are priorities 
.
It's also interesting to see how some lawmakers are thinking ahead about emergency situations - I mean, if a school lockdown were to happen, wouldn't it be better for teachers to have all the information they need without having to worry about students getting false info via their phones?
. And can you imagine how much more focused and engaged kids would be in class if they weren't constantly checking their screens? It's a no-brainer 
.
I'm curious to see how this bill plays out in the House, but I'm feeling optimistic about its chances
. We need more initiatives like this that prioritize our young people's well-being and education

I'm like totally stoked that someone's finally doing something about this!!! Schools are supposed to be a safe space, not a playground 
My kid spends like, hours on their phone during school hours and it's literally affecting their focus 
. And yeah, emergency situations are a concern but come on, common sense should prevail 
. The fact that some parents are worried is just laughable 
. PA Unplugged is doing amazing work and I'm so here for it 
. Let's get rid of those distractions already!
