Teens use smartphones during class

High school students spend 70 minutes on their phones during school, according to a study published by JAMA on Monday that analyzed 640 student phones from September 2022 to May 2024. Most of those 70 minutes were lost to social media and video games, despite nearly all schools claiming to have rules against such smartphone usage. Students with “problematic behavior” spent an average of 80 minutes on their phones during school. This is yet another study showing the negative fruits of smartphones, which the Trumpet has warned against for years.
