Mexico bans cellphones in schools, despite opposition from parents worried about violence

Mexico is preparing to ban cellphone use in elementary and secondary schools starting Tuesday, as parents in violence-stricken regions warn that the restrictions could leave their children unable to communicate during emergencies. The measure, which takes effect Nov. 3, is part of President Claudia Sheinbaum's efforts to limit children's exposure to electronic devices amid concerns about their effects on attention and mental health.
