WASHINGTON — The U.S. Education Department called on every state, school and district on Tuesday to adopt policies on cellphone use in schools.

The department asks schools to have well-thought-out policies on the matter, but does not dictate exactly what those policies should be. An accompanying resource for schools notes the risk social media can pose to students’ mental health.

“In this digital age, every elementary, middle, and high school should have a clear, consistent, and research-informed policy to guide the use of phones and personal devices in school,” U.S Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said in a written statement.

“The evidence makes clear: there is no one-size-fits-all policy,” Cardona added, noting that “different school communities have different needs, and the nuances of this issue demand that local voices — parents, educators, and students — inform local decisions around the use of personal devices in school.”

1. And still another right being stolen.

And still another right being stolen from Americans.
This is the right of the parents and their family to make their own policies on cell phones.

One thing for sure these phones have bee the only warning of mass shootings
that happen regularly in schools and everywhere. Thank you trump for allowing guns to be legal
in the hands of the mentally ill. Great little army you have made for yourself.

2. If I don't have a problem if my kid watches TikTok videos during class, why should it be anyone else's business?
