Meanwhile, schools are banning phones to reduce distractions and boost focus, with some seeing improved engagement. But experts say the decline stems from a mix of pandemic fallout, attendance issues, and a generation wired for digital distraction—forcing schools to question whether current standards still fit today’s learners.
