Florida lawmakers advance school changes: phone bans, required cursive and start times

There are bills to further restrict kids' cell phone use in schools and to require cursive instruction for younger students. Another piece of legislation would nix an upcoming mandate for some schools to start later.
The article from WLRN discusses several changes in Florida's educational policies for the year 2025. Key points include a new law requiring public schools to implement a phone ban during class time to minimize distractions, with exceptions for emergencies or educational purposes. Additionally, there is a mandate for schools to teach cursive writing, reflecting a return to traditional educational methods. However, a proposed bill to mandate later start times for high schools, aimed at improving student sleep and health, did not pass, leaving school start times unchanged. These changes reflect Florida's ongoing efforts to balance modern educational needs with traditional learning techniques.
