When D.C. Public Schools start up again tomorrow, their students will be going back in time — though not that far. That’s because they will no longer be allowed to use their cellphones during the school day.
By making its public schools phone-free, Washington, D.C., has joined a nationwide, bipartisan education trend. Unlike many such trends, however, this is one we should embrace. It’s good for students. And it can help contribute to a society in which technology serves us, not the other way around.
