L4sBot‘Put learners first’: Unesco calls for global ban on smartphones in schools
rizoidMy son always has his phone at school. Given how America is I wouldn’t send him to school without a way to get a hold of me.
DurotarThe issue is that smartphones have too many features that are way more interesting than school. Can you send your kid to school with a simple phone that can only make calls and send and receive SMS?
You could, but in reality you should have the parenting ability to trust your kid not to be constantly on their phone in school. If you can’t trust your kid to stay off their phone during class and only use it during breaks, lunch, after or before school, etc. Then you’ve failed as a parent.
Do “good parents” really all have this level of robotic control over their kids?
Do you really give a zero to “nature” in the nature vs. nurture behavioral influence?
Do y’all not have the self control to stay off your phones in class? I just graduated, I was fine, so was the rest of my class. Unlimited access to our phones but we didn’t because we knew it was important. Reread my last statement, my entire argument is for none of the government control, it should be up to the parents to instill the values of education and trust their kid not to fuck it up, like parents have been doing forever. If the parents can’t trust their kids to not fuck up their schooling and need the government to step in and do it for them then they have failed as parents.
