I haven’t seen this in English language media, but New Zealand/Aotearoa is planning to ban smartphones in schools (the same government that has rolled back on good tobacco laws, though, so I’m not sure how this will go down).

How many #Scottish #teachers have made the move from twitter/whatever-it’s-now-called over to Mastodon? It doesn’t feel as if there are very many of us here, but I’d be keen to see more accounts…

Please boost to increase reach - thank you.
