Schools are competing with cellphones. Here's how they think they could win
Isabella Pires first noticed what she calls the “gradual apathy pandemic” in eighth grade. Only a handful of classmates registered for service projects she helped organize at her Massachusetts school. Even fewer actually showed up. When she got to high school last fall, Isabella found the problem was even worse: a lackluster Spirit Week and classes where students seldom spoke. In some ways, it’s as if students “just care less and less about what people think, but also somehow care more,” said Isabella, 14. Some teens, she said, no longer care about appearing disengaged, while others are so afraid of ridicule they keep to themselves. She blames social media and the lingering isolation of the post-COVID era. Educators say their tried and true lesson plans are no longer enough to keep students engaged at a time of struggling mental health, shortened attention spans, reduced attendance and worsening academic performance. At the crux of these challenges? Addiction to cellphones. Now, adults are trying new strategies to reverse the malaise.

Washington State Debate Coalition cancels Oct. 11 gubernatorial debate
The Washington State Debate Coalition (WSDC) has canceled its Oct. 11 gubernatorial debate between Bob Ferguson and Dave Reichert in Ellensburg, the agency announced Thursday. The decision to cancel the debate comes after possible miscommunication between WSDC and Ferguson’s campaign, with WSDC claiming that Ferguson withdrew from the debate after “months of planning and repeated conversations with the campaign to stay the course and proceed as planned with the event,” and Ferguson’s campaign claiming Ferguson “never committed to this debate at any point in the process.”
