The UN agency said that even being close to a smartphone has been linked with students being distracted in the classroom, which in turn causes poorer student performances.
Just banning seems like an incomplete strategie and while i think a couple of hours of no usage doenst hurt (helps even), i think schools need to also teach kids to establish resonable and healthy behaviours with digital services and devices.
Sure, but then the teacher needs 110% support from both the administration and the parents when the time cost of teaching this particular behavior is significant. If the parents are uncooperative, then they can get fucked.
Teacher says no? End of story. The parents can take it up with their kid on their own time. The kids will learn healthy behavior more quickly once they see the policy has teeth.
