When students got their textbooks at the beginning of the year at San Mateo High School, they also received the Yondr pouch, a locking device for their phones.

當聖馬特奧高中的學生在年初拿到課本的時候，他們也收到一個用來鎖住手機的Youdr袋子。

The phone slides into it and gets locked through a magnetic device. It's not unlocked again until the final bell rings. The procedure will repeat every day for the rest of the school year.

手機劃入袋中，然後就被一個有磁力的裝置鎖住了。直到放學鈴響後，這個裝置纔會解鎖。該程序在本學年之後的每一天都會重複進行。

Adam Gelb, the assistant principal ran a pilot project last year with 20 students and decided to do a school-wide, bell to bell program for this school year.

這個學校的副校長亞當·格爾布去年與20名學生試驗了這個項目，他決定在本學年在全校實行鈴聲項目。

The Yondr pouch is a start-up in San Francisco with a mission to create phone-free spaces, something that resonated with Gelb.

Youdr口袋是舊金山的一家初創企業推出的產品，其目的在於創造隔離手機的空間，而這與格爾布的想法產生了共鳴。

"I really think it's about being present and engaging in the adult that's trying to Teach you, your peers that might be in your small group. That's part of the main philosophy that we're trying to preach," he said.

“我真的認爲，這關乎活在當下，參與到試着教導你的成年人中，以及你同齡人的小團體中。這是我們嘗試宣揚的重要哲學的一部分，”他說道。

Brad Friedman, another teacher at the school, said he was becoming concerned with excessive use of phones at school. He said he often saw students completely lost on their phones, some not socializing at all with other students.

該學校的另一位老師布拉德·弗裏德曼表示，他擔心校園裏過度使用手機的問題。他說，他經常看到學生完全沉迷於手機，有些學生一點都不與其他學生交往。

This week, he's already seeing the difference.

這個周他已經看到了不同。

"Everyone else was socializing and eating lunch together, that's what I wasn't seeing enough of when phone usage is at its worst," he said.

“其他人都在社交，而且還一起吃午餐，在學生們過度使用手機的時候，我看不到這麼多學生參與社交，”他說道。

A senior at San Mateo High School Djelani Phillips-Diop said he definitely panicked at first when he heard he had to lock his phone.

聖馬特奧高中的一位高年級的學生德傑拉尼·菲利普斯-迪奧普表示，最初聽說要把手機鎖起來的時候，他很慌亂。

"I panicked I guess last year when we had phones, I was using it every day," he said.

“我想我慌了，去年我們有手機的時候，我每天都要使用手機，”他說。

In case of emergency, every classroom has the unlocking device. Teachers still have access to their own cellphones and landlines.

萬一有緊急情況，每個教室都有解鎖裝置。老師們依然可以使用他們自己的手機和座機。

"We've gotten all 1,700 students unlocked with a matter of minutes," said Gelb.

“我們幾分鐘就可以爲1700名學生解鎖他們所有人的手機，”格爾布說道。

We spoke to four students who, despite their initial panic, agreed that a phone-free school experience has its benefits.

我們與四位學生談過，雖然他們最初很慌亂，但他們也認爲，沒有手機的校園體驗是有益處的。

"I remember sophomore year, I tried to get my followers, checked my followers constantly," said Joshua Cervantes-Solorio, a senior student at San Mateo HS.

“我記得高二的時候，我試圖獲得粉絲，而且不斷查看我的粉絲情況，聖馬特奧高中的一位高年級學生約書亞·塞萬提斯-索羅里歐說道。

"You're constantly comparing yourself to other women on your feed and it definitely takes a toll on your self-image," said Lea Wadhams another senior at SMHS.

“你不斷與你關注的其他女性進行比較，這肯定會對你的自我形象產生嚴重不良的影響，”聖馬特奧高中的另一位高年級學生萊亞·萬德漢姆斯說道。
