## Resource

New Jersey schools are rolling out a major new rule: no cell phones for students starting this year. Designed to reduce distractions and refocus learning, the policy sparks debate across the state—some see it as a return to traditional education, others worry about isolation and family disconnect. Parents, teachers, and students are all adjusting, with districts experimenting on enforcement methods like locker storage or daily collection. This bold move reshapes classroom culture and is sure to evolve as the school year unfolds. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
