That wonderful video going around, of the teacher marveling at the immediate effects of his school and state going phone-free? He is jonathan Buchwalter, a social studies teacher in Alabama. I hope all teachers and state legislators will watch this: Bravo to Alabama, where @governorkayivey signed into law the #FOCUSAct (Freeing Our Classrooms of Unnecessary Screens for Safety) in May. It’s a #belltobell #phonefreeschools law, requiring students to turn off and store their wireless communication devices during the instructional day, including hallways and lunch periods. 19 states so far have signed a phone-free schools act. What about your state?
