Sign the Petition

Join us in making a significant change in the Denton Independent School District by supporting our initiative for phone-free schools. By signing our petition, you are taking a powerful step towards enhancing the educational environment for all of our students.

Why Sign the Petition?

Smartphones, while useful, have become a significant distraction in the classroom, affecting students’ ability to focus, engage, and interact with teachers and peers. Research, including insights from Jonathan Haidt’s influential book, “Anxious Generation,” shows that removing smartphones during school hours can lead to:

• Improved Academic Performance: Students demonstrate better concentration and higher test scores in phone-free environments.
• Enhanced Social Interactions: Without the constant presence of digital devices, students develop stronger interpersonal skills and empathy.
• Decreased Bullying: Phone-free policies contribute to a decrease in cyberbullying and create safer school climates.
• Better Mental Health: Reduced screen time during school helps lower anxiety and depression among students.

Our Goal

Our goal is not just to enact a policy but to foster a community where education and personal development are prioritized over digital distractions. We aim to create an atmosphere where students can thrive academically and socially, free from the interruptions and pressures that come with constant connectivity.
