School principals in Finland indicated a significant improvement in school life following the recent ban on smartphones. All seven principals interviewed by "Yle" noted that students are now more willing to interact with each other, resulting in a noticeable decline in bullying incidents. Changes have been observed even in school corridors, where students are greeting each other and making eye contact. The principal of Salpauselk's main school, Hanna Alava, emphasized the joy that comes with these new interactions as students reconnect on a personal level.
