Should NYC public schools ban cellphones? UFT survey shows teachers would support it

The United Federation of Teachers (UFT) announced a survey on Monday that shows NYC educators would likely support a school cellphone ban, building even more momentum for a statewide policy that has been talked about for months.

The survey found that two-thirds of NYC educators would support a cellphone ban in public schools. The snapshot survey of teachers and other union members from more than 1,000 schools in the city found that 63% supported a citywide ban, while 31% opposed it. Another 6% remained neutral.
