A nationwide study of cellphone bans at thousands of American schools showed little improvement in test scores — but significant gains in student wellbeing. The May study amassed data from over 40,000 schools between 2019 and 2026, and compared the experience of students with minimal phone restrictions over three year cycles against those required to lock their phones in Yondr pouches from the day’s first bell to last. It found mixed results, but ones many teachers desperate to get their students attention back will be immediately pleased to see — stringent phone bans led to an 80% decrease in phone usage in the classroom, dropping personal phone use from 61% of students to just 13% over three years.
