Can anyone find a school, state, or country that went phone free (bell to bell) and regrets it, or reversed it?
The Netherlands went phone free in most schools in 2024. Their first major survey of schools finds very positive results:

As more schools and states consider going phone-free, I'm reposting this: clear evidence that phone-free schools improve learning. Just taking phones during CLASS gives less benefit in class, while still damaging social life between classes and at lunch.
As we welcome 2025, we are reflecting on the stories that shaped 2024. Through animations, podcasts, and our weekly spot on Morning Edition, we celebrated our shared humanity and the power of connection. Revisit unforgettable moments → https://t.co/J4bmzwrD9D
Jimmy Carter's advice to a young person.
My nephew Matthew, now a @Georgetown sophomore, shared this letter with me yesterday. Five years ago, he wrote to all the living presidents and asked for advice on how to participate in public service. Only Jimmy Carter responded. My nephew has searched online and has found nothing similar so believes it not to be a "form letter." It's a beautiful precis on how to live a life of service.
February 11, 2019
To Matthew:
Thank you for your letter. I admire your interest in serving our country and appreciate your desire to begin that service as soon as possible. No matter what the future holds, there are a few things that young people must do to ensure success: Study hard in order to excel in college and learn as much as possible about the things that particularly interest you; be tenacious in fulfilling commitments, whether to others or to yourself; volunteer your time and talents to community projects, learning all you can about the specific needs of the country or state in which you live; and treat everyone—family, friends and strangers—with honest and respect. If you do these things, I’m sure you will find satisfaction in whatever career you chose.
With best wishes,
Jimmy Carter.
