Students those who want to improve their grades can indeed do that by throwing away their smartphones. New study based on a London university showed that students who don't have a smart phone secure better grades than those having one.
Many parents want to be connected to their children, but their teachers consider the mobile not less than a distraction.
For the study, researchers Richard Murphy and Louis-Philippe Beland at the London School of Economics looked at the test scores of 130,000 students in 91 British schools, according to Christian Science Monitor.
The schools had a variety of cell phone policies, which the researchers compared to test scores for 16-year-old students.
"We found the impact of banning phones for these students equivalent to an additional hour a week in school, or to increasing the school year by five days," the researchers noted.
