Recently, the Brazilian government said it will enforce a law banning cell phones in public and private education. As a result, some people wondered how it would work. Despite some differences, the UK implemented the measure into force in February this year and schools are already seeing results. Therefore, we have brought some testimonials for you to verify.
How does the law work in the UK?
Here, inside Brazilif they approve the law, only the youngest will not be able to use cell phones. The British government, in turn, does not allow any student to use any device on school premises.

The results

One of the consequences can concern the emotional and psychological development of children, but it can also have an impact on vision, motor skills and socialisation, for example due to excessive use of screens.
