Jayden Davis is the Programs and Office Manager at an organization called The Policy Project, based in Salt Lake City, Utah. Kathleen and Jayden connected over an initiative called The Focused Student, in which TPP worked to get a bill passed during the 2025 legislative session. The two-pronged initiative would enable students to have improved focus in school, both by being off cell phones and by ensuring that they were not going hungry during the school day.
During this podcast episode, Kathleen and Jayden talk about the results of their efforts with The Focused Student project, as well as what is considered today to be the gold standard of school cell phone policies. They also discuss Jayden's personal experiences with balancing screen time in her life, what she observed in this regard as a student at BYU, as well as some worrisome screen habits that are so common among many people today, old and young alike.
