A new school cellphone ban is set to take effect with the upcoming school year. Teachers and students are preparing for the change, which may pose challenges. Some students will have to learn to focus without the distraction of social media, while others will have to adapt to not using their phones as a classroom tool.

The ban may affect students' work habits, potentially making them less efficient at completing assignments. For example, a rising senior used to use her computer and phone simultaneously for research and learning platforms.

Further details about the ban and its potential impact are available from the source, including perspectives from students and teachers on what to expect.
