I recently heard a discussion of such bans on NPR (I'm not sure which program because I was listening on the car radio during a short trip). They talked to some high school students who were under such bans and most thought it was for the best. One student did raise a good point though. She said that when she's trying to concentrate like when reading something challenging she would listen to music on her phone via headphones to block distractions. Now that she can't do that she's finding it harder to concentrate. I wonder if stand-alone music players might make a comeback among students?
