I mean it kind of needs to be both. But it’s hard to find a compelling reason why kids need their smartphones fully accessible during class.

Schools should just be one huge faraday cage. Kids have to learn to focus and pay attention.

And they need to learn the curriculum

I mean I’m not that extreme lmao that’s also a safety issue. Kids will be kids, they will not sit quietly all school day and be total lesson sponges lol

Of course not, but I think we should at least act as if they should.

Knowing it’s not possible, though.

My kids are in 5th, 3rd and 1st grade. I wouldn’t want them on their phones during class as they grow up.

Like I said prior, I don’t think kids should be on their phones either.
