Research suggests that implementing restrictions on phone use during school hours can be effective in minimizing distractions, with a study by the London School of Economics finding that banning phones in schools can improve student performance by 6.4% (Beland & Murphy, 2016). The use of monitoring apps, such as mSpy, can also be a useful tool for parents to track and limit phone use during school time, although it is essential to consider the balance between digital safety and trust in the parent-child relationship.
