    There we go, a study that goes to show distractions are lowering grades.

    Also note that there is a culture change, the children were supportive of
    the ban. Likewise the teachers.

    Sometimes a law is needed to show folks where they should go. Excellent
    stuff.

    Now they need to get rid of the insistence that all kids must have a
    tablet or laptop, especially for the little ones. Get back to proper
    teaching of the basics.

    Plus, for high schools they need to drop all these newly announced,
    silly and unnecessary subjects. Leave highly specific classes to universities, polytechs, and trade schools.
