However, kids need to put down their phones to learn. They need to focus their minds and learn to concentrate.

Our country has too many stupid people with microscopically short attention spans. Overuse of cellphones by children stunts their ability to think.

We used to think too much TV was a problem. Cellphones are exponentially more problematic.

More states should follow Michigan's idea.
