Richard Kyte says children need more face-to-face time as school cell phone bans and concerns over friendship patterns grow.
- A new study released last week found that cell phone bans in schools are highly effective at reducing usage and improving teacher satisfaction.

- Experts argue that prioritizing face-to-face interactions is essential for children's emotional development, even as student well-being faced challenges during the initial year of phone bans.
