That\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">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. Republicans were slightly more likely to favor both in-class and all-day bans, at 81 percent and 55 percent, respectively. But Democrats were also broadly supportive of in-class bans at 74 percent, and all-day bans at 44 percent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">More than 20 states havre <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hks.harvard.edu\/faculty-research\/policy-topics\/education-training-labor\/many-states-are-banning-cellphones-schools\">already adopted bell-to-bell cell phone bans<\/a>, and early studies show mixed impacts. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/policy\/922998\/do-phone-bans-in-schools-work-kind-of\">One report found<\/a> positive long-term effects on students\u2019 well-being, but no evidence of an impact on test scores. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.educationnext.org\/can-banning-cellphones-save-student-learning-evidence-florida-mandate\/\">Another found<\/a> higher suspension rates in the first year of a ban, that later returned to normal levels, and a decrease in unexcused absences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/policy\/972607\/full-school-day-cell-phone-bans-are-more-popular-than-ever\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As schools across the country continue to implement cell phone bans, a new Pew Research Center survey shows they continue to gain support.
