Schools across the U.S. are increasingly implementing locked magnetic pouches as a solution to cellphone bans. Yondr, a company known for creating these pouches for phone-free environments, has gained attention, with its CEO even opting for a flip phone. Reports highlight the benefits of reduced distractions and enhanced learning, as seen during a recent visit by Good Morning America to Yonkers Public Schools. Additionally, Wallingford schools are considering stricter enforcement of cellphone policies, potentially incorporating Yondr pouches. Meanwhile, a local business has developed cost-effective versions of these pouches, further supporting the trend of millions of students now utilizing this technology to secure their devices during school hours.
