What happens when a high school struggling with smartphone distractions takes a bold step and starts locking away all devices — midway through the school year?

Even more unusual: the phones aren’t just put away; they’re locked up in classrooms for the entire day, except during lunch.

Dr. Delaney interviews Principal Deanna Albert to explore how implementing ‘Away for the Day’ policies transformed both learning and social interactions at Hardin High School.

Deanna shares the challenges and successes of making this shift, including how it improved student engagement, reduced distractions, and curbed social media-related issues.
