‘Put learners first’: Unesco calls for global ban on smartphones in schools::Major UN report issues warning over excessive use, with one in six countries already banning the devices
And the abuses that have been brought to light because there’s a way to do so?
I would call that a dilemma, I guess.
My 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.
The issue is that smartphones have 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.
