Most schools have rules in place about when you can use a phone, and some have decided to ban them completely.
大多数学校都有关于何时可以使用手机的规定，而有些学校已经决定完全禁止使用手机。
At this school, pupils have to put their phone in a locker until home time.
在这所学校，学生们必须把手机放在储物柜里，直到回家时间。
But other schools have more high tech ways of staying phone-free.
但其他学校有更高科技的方法来让手机无法使用。
"So you walk into school and then you put your phone in, and you press the button and it locks it.
“你走进学校，把手机放进去，按下按钮，它就锁住了。
And then when you come out of school, you press the button against the magnet and it opens."
当你从学校出来时，你按下磁铁上的按钮，它就打开了。”
These kids think that a phone-free school has lots of benefits.
这些孩子认为一个不使用手机的校园有很多好处。
"Like, I've been forced off my phone at breaktime and forced to, like, socialise with people."
“比如，我被迫在休息时间关掉手机，被迫和其他人交往。”
New research has looked into the effects of phone use in young people, suggesting that banning them in school might not make much of a difference on how pupils feel or perform.
一项新的研究调查了年轻人使用手机的影响，结果显示，在学校禁用手机可能不会对学生的感受和表现产生太大影响。
I'm speaking to the BBC's Education Editor Branwen Jeffreys to find out more.
我和BBC教育编辑布兰文·杰弗里斯进行了沟通，试图了解更多。
"So, Branwen, this new research, in a nutshell, what does it say?"
“那么，布兰文，这项新研究，简而言之，说明了什么？”
"They compared schools that have a smartphone ban and schools which allowed them to be used during break times, for example.
“他们把禁用智能手机的学校和允许在休息时间使用智能手机的学校做了一个对比。
And they found no difference at all in mental well-being of the teenagers, or in how their grades were in maths or English."
他们发现，青少年的心理健康状况，以及他们的数学或英语成绩并没有任何不同。”
"And what did it say about phone use outside of school?"
“关于在校外使用手机，有什么发现吗？”
"There is some evidence that spending less than two hours a day on a phone, or on social media, can make a difference to your mental well-being.
“有证据表明，每天花在手机或社交媒体上的时间少于两个小时，会对你的心理健康有重要意义。
This raises a big question -- if school bans don't make much difference, maybe it's what's going on at home that really matters."
这就提出了一个大问题--如果学校禁令没有多大用，也许真正重要的是在家中的情况。
So the researchers do say there's a lot more still to learn, but we might see a big debate about what parents and the government should do."
研究人员确实表示，还有很多需要去探索，但我们可能会看到一场关于父母和政府应该做什么的大辩论。”
