Brazil's new law: Students focus on life without smartphones in schools.

Brazil made a new law about smartphones in schools. Students can't use their phones in class or hallways anymore.

They can only use phones for schoolwork or if the teacher says it's okay. Schools can decide if students keep phones in backpacks or lockers.

Many people in Brazil wanted this law because they think phones are bad for kids. One school already banned phones and saw students talking more and making friends.

Brazil has more smartphones than people, and people spend a lot of time on screens. Other countries like China and France also made rules about kids using phones.

One student said not using her phone helped her talk to friends more and focus better. She also said it helped other students make new friends because they couldn't hide on their phones.
