From burner phones to decks of cards: NYC teens adjusting to the smartphone ban

What ban where?

Not everyone wants to read an article to even find out the location they are talking about or if this is relevant to them... otherwise what's the point of titles and headlines?

We can write much better post titles than this.

It's in the article.

Come on people, read.

> Schools have rolled out a range of strategies, with most schools either collecting phones at arrival and storing them in lockers or distributing magnetic pouches that have to be locked and unlocked at the beginning and end of the day.

To be fair, the title has been editorialized.

From the guidelines: “…please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.”

(I’ve flagged. Happy to unflag once title is fixed.)

Yes I understand it's in the article, but that wasn't my point.

People from all over the world read this site and many won't click on articles they aren't sure are relevant to them... why can't we put even the location of the story in the title? Is that too much to ask?

I don't think the relevant part is where there's a smartphone ban. It's that teens are adjusting to the ban on their phones. That even if they're always on them, they can actually disconnect and adjust to it.

I don't presume to know people's reasons for wanting to read a story or not... I just think we should at least put the applicable location in the title.
