Connecticut lawmakers approve bill for cell phone ban in schools — but critics argue that having different rules for adults and students is ‘not good role modeling at all’

Students using phones in school.

• Connecticut is proposing a legal ban on cell phone use during the school day
• If passed, this law will see the state join 35 others in having cell phone restriction laws at school
• Studies and surveys largely seem to show cell phone bans as having a positive impact, but parents and lawmakers are mixed on it

Connecticut could be about to join a long list of US states that are either restricting or outright banning cell phone use in schools.
