Phones Down = Focus Up at Chatham County Schools!
We’re seeing how digital distractions can steal attention and disrupt classroom rhythm, but U.S. research shows there’s a better way:
👉77% of U.S. public schools already restrict phones during class, and over half of school leaders report phones hurt academic performance and focus. (ICS)
👉Two-thirds of Americans believe all-day phone bans improve social skills, grades, and behavior. (Pew Research Center)
👉Parent-led movements nationwide — from Vermont to coast — are driving phone-free school policies, citing real improvements in academic engagement and mental health. (TIME)
Our Yondr Pouch Program aligns with this evidence — intentionally steering students toward focused learning and better social interaction.
