The Stanway School

There's a series running on Channel 4 in the UK at the moment called Swiped.

And one of the episodes is this one, The School of Banned Smartphones.

And it goes into a school, the Stanway School in the UK.

And what they did was they banned smartphones on the premises for 30 days.

Yeah.

Now, that's already in place in a lot of states in Australia.

A lot of schools here, certainly in Queensland and I think New South Wales at the very least, ban smartphones during the school day.

This was an unusual thing because in the UK they're still allowed to use them, but what they were doing was measuring the effect it had on focus and depression symptoms.
