Several school districts in North Texas outright stop students from bringing their cellphones to class, so they can concentrate on their actual studies.
Other districts don't have any restrictions. There might be something in the middle that's a benefit to kids. A new study from Southern Illinois University finds that schools could start giving kids a "tech break" in class.
The researchers say those tech breaks let kids use their phones for just 60 seconds. They claim it can help cut back on kids' phone use, block distractions, and it could help their performances on tests.
