Norway’s school smartphone ban is working.

In unsurprising news, middle school kids in Norway have been feeling mentally healthier and performing better academically since a public health initiative banned smartphones in schools, according to a new study. After three years of the policy, girls’ GPAs increased, while visits to mental health professionals decreased by 60%—and girls from lower-income families benefited the most. There wasn’t much effect on boys’ academic standings, but both boys and girls experienced 43%–46% less bullying after putting their phones away.

Great insights! As Aristotle would remind us, the roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet ?? Let’s keep exploring these discoveries to nourish our minds ??
