A recent Pew Research Center survey of 5,110 U.S. adults found 68 percent support a ban on middle and high school students using a cellphone in the classroom.

Only roughly a third of the respondents favored blocking phone access for the entire day , while more than half opposed it.

Educators and their unions have long argued that phones distracts students, enables bullying, and burns teachers out.
