Maria Gonzalez has been a school psychologist for Rochester City Schools for more than two decades. She’s seen first-hand the damaging impact of cellphones. “I was there way before the pandemic, and I saw the incredible shift in the social skills of students,” said Gonzalez, Rochester Teachers Association. “The level of impulsivity now that I see, was not seen before. It’s just constantly reacting, reacting, reacting, with no pause for anything.”
