"Georgia Takes a Hard Line on Cellphones in Schools: New Law Bans Handsets in High Schools.

As educators and administrators grapple with the logistics of enforcing the ban, parents and students are weighing in on the potential benefits and drawbacks of the new policy, sparking a wider debate about the role of technology in the classroom."
