New, temporary cellphone restrictions are in place at Arlington Public Schools, ahead of a potential permanent policy by year’s end.

That’s the basis for this month’s Mike Mount cartoon, which suggests that the ban might be effective during school hours but will otherwise struggle to change young people’s well-ingrained communications habits.
