Help Create Distraction-Free Learning Environments

🙌 I'm 100% behind NYSUT President Melinda Person on cellphone restrictions in schools. Every child deserves a classroom where they can focus and thrive — free from distractions.

📱 Phones in class are more than just distractions — they're holding kids back! Bell-to-bell restrictions will help students reconnect with other kids, enhance focus and achieve success in school. That's why I stand with NYSUT and Governor Kathy Hochul’s plan to limit phone use in schools. This proposal will help students focus, improve mental health and create better learning spaces.

Thank you Governor Kathy Hochul! I'm in full support of the bell-to-bell cellphone restriction proposal to help address: ✔️ Students' mental health ✔️ Distractions in the classroom ✔️ Social media addition Let's get this done so that New York can create better learning environments for kids and help students focus on learning – not notifications.

Kids deserve every chance to succeed in and out of the classroom. And, studies have shown that statewide, bell-to-bell restrictions will be great step forward in creating distraction-free learning environments. Learn more: mac.nysut.org/action/936

Bell-to-bell cellphone restrictions are exactly what students need. Governor Kathy Hochul’s proposal gives kids the chance to fully engage in learning, free from the constant buzz of a phone. I’m all in on creating a distraction-free environment for every classroom. Let’s give our kids the gift of 7 phone-free hours a day!

Bell-to-bell restrictions in our classrooms will help ensure students can focus on what matters most: learning. Join the fight: mac.nysut.org/action/936
