Both political parties support banning cellphones in schools to improve mental health and reduce distractions.

Many states in the United States are thinking about banning cellphones in schools. They worry that phones are bad for kids' mental health and make it hard for them to focus in class.

Even though most schools already have rules about phones, they don't always enforce them. Parents and teachers from both political parties are asking for stricter rules.

Some states, like Florida and California, have already passed laws about phones in schools. These laws are different in each state, but they all try to limit phone use during school hours.

Governors in several states support these bans, saying phones are a big distraction. They believe that banning phones will help kids focus on learning and be healthier.

However, some parents are against the bans because they want to be able to reach their kids in emergencies. They also argue that kids need to learn how to use technology responsibly instead of avoiding it completely.
