In a recent discussion among students, the impact of a phone-free environment on academic engagement and social interaction was highlighted. One student, Morgan from Texas, shared her experience after a week of using Yonder Pouches, which restrict phone access during school hours. Initially, she felt frustrated and had a strong urge to check her phone. However, she soon noticed a significant shift in her behavior.

Morgan reported increased interaction with both teachers and peers, stating that she participates more actively in class discussions. She described the experience as a \"detox,\" emphasizing that the absence of her phone has not only been manageable but beneficial. The only challenge she mentioned was the inability to take pictures of homework, which she deemed a minor inconvenience.

The overall sentiment among students is that the Yonder Pouches have fostered a more focused learning environment. Morgan noted that students are becoming more comfortable engaging with one another, leading to more authentic contributions in their work. This shift is allowing students to better grasp their coursework, suggesting that limiting phone access may enhance educational outcomes and interpersonal relationships within the school setting.
