BRIGHTON, N.Y. \u2013 New York students are back in the classroom with a new rule in place.<\/p>\n
Starting this year, New York schools have banned<\/a> electronics like phones, tablets and smartwatches in the classroom. Students shared mostly positive experiences with the change.<\/p>\n \u201cSome of my friends struggled with it, but I kinda like the distance from being away from social media. I feel like I could focus more,\u201d said Brighton High School junior Juliana Hayes.<\/p>\n While some students disliked not being able to constantly keep in touch with family or friends, they noticed fewer distractions.<\/p>\n \u201cAfter the first day, it\u2019s really not as bad as I thought it would be,\u201d Brighton High School junior Camryn McFadden-Olivier said. \u201cIt was honestly kind of easy. I know some people are definitely struggling with the cell phone ban.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI was able to pick out my friends in the hallways and interact with them a bit more,\u201d Brighton High School junior Zachary Johnson said. \u201cAnd overall it was a totally different environment. I didn\u2019t see a lot of heads down. A lot of people were talking more.\u201d<\/p>\n The Brighton School District policy<\/a> requires students to keep their devices in their lockers until the end of the school day. If a student violates the policy, their device is kept in the main office, their family is contacted, and they receive a disciplinary referral.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFor Related Stories:\u00a0cell phone ban<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0Brighton High School<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The News10NBC Team details breaking News, Traffic and Weather.
