Full school day cell phone bans are more popular than ever
That’s the first time more Americans have supported, rather than opposed, so-called bell-to-bell bans. Two years ago, just 36 percent of American adults supported an all day ban.Across all age groups over 18 that were surveyed, most respondents support in-class bans. That support is lower but still at least half for all-day bans across most age groups, except for ages 18-29, where support for a bell-to-bell ban drops to just 28 percent.
