About this episode
K-12 students are two thirds of the way through their first year under a smartphone ban during the school day. The ban was intended to remove the distraction from technology that many students experience. With students on February break, we welcome a group of them on the program to discuss how they are experiencing the ban. Our guests:
Helena Dixon, senior at Fairport High School
Eli Fybush, senior at Brighton High School
Norah Kirkebye, junior at Pittsford Sutherland High School
Carter Markowycz, freshman at Greece Arcadia High School
