“Will this new law work? Hell yes, it will. I know I’m in school. I shouldn’t be swearing.”

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer after signing bipartisan legislation banning student cellphone use during instructional time in Michigan schools. Whitmer said the new policy will improve students’ social skills and learning, arguing that fewer distractions in classrooms will lead to better outcomes. The law requires school districts to adopt cellphone policies by next school year that, at a minimum, prohibit phone use during class, while allowing local leaders to go further if they choose.
