Syracuse, N.Y. — Back to school this year is coming with a major reality check: New York is banning smart phones in schools. <\/p>\n
The ban extends to anything with Internet access (other than a school-issued Chrome Book). That means no watches or personal lap tops or ear buds, school officials say. <\/p>\n
The ban lasts all day, from bell to bell. That means no TikTok at lunch or Instagram during study hall. That means no listening to music during class.<\/p>\n
