新泽西州:州长走访 Cherry Hill 高中:全州校园手机禁令实施效果受关注

新泽西州州长 Mikie Sherrill 10月22日走访 Cherry Hill High School East,直接听取学生对全州校园手机限制实施情况的反馈。新泽西州已在幼儿园至高中学校推行上课时段全程限制手机及其他可联网设备的规定,州长此行意在了解各学区执行中的实际效果与问题。
Sherrill 表示,州政府将继续与各学区合作,推动政策有效落实,并从学区的经验中学习改进。新泽西家长教师协会主席 April Maxwell-Henley 博士表示,该协会支持这一禁令,认为每个孩子都应有能专注学习、建立真实人际关系并在学业与情感上取得进步的校园环境,同时强调实施过程中应让家长、学生与教师都有发声渠道。
据州长办公室介绍,已有先行实施类似政策的学区报告了积极的教育成效。校园手机管理是今年全美多州共同推进的教育议题,新泽西州的做法要求学生在整个教学日而非仅课堂时间收起设备。
New Jersey: Governor Visits Cherry Hill High School: Statewide School Cell Phone Ban's Impact in Focus
In New Jersey, Governor Mikie Sherrill visited Cherry Hill High School East on October 22 to hear directly from students about the implementation and impact of the state's bell-to-bell restrictions on cell phones and other internet-enabled devices in K-12 schools.
Sherrill said the state will keep working with districts to implement the policies effectively and to learn from their experience. Dr. April Maxwell-Henley, president of the New Jersey PTA, said the association supports the ban because every child deserves a school environment where they can focus on learning, build meaningful relationships, and succeed academically, socially and emotionally, while stressing that parents, students and educators must have a voice in the process.
According to the Governor's Office, districts that adopted similar policies earlier have reported positive educational outcomes. School phone restrictions have been advanced in many states this year; New Jersey's approach limits devices for the full school day rather than class time alone.
