Guess recess is about to get real kids might rediscover kickball instead of TikTok.

I know we live in a country that loves personal freedom and doesn’t like being told what to do… But I don’t hate this.
Listen, I get it. The issue isn’t the phones or social media, it’s *the parents*. *THE Parents* need to PARENT. I really do understand.
That being said, if some parents PARENT and some parents don’t, then there is social pressure for the kids being PARENTED to fit in with the kids not being PARENTED. I know that social pressure is stupid from an adult perspective, but I also know how important it is to teens.
I think this is probably a first step at trying to develop a better world, and I’m here for it, even if this isn’t 100% the bestest most perfect solution.

They did it on Connecticut and it’s been pretty popular. Kids are only allowed to use them during 30 min lunch block.

This has worked very well in Alabama. Kids talk to each other during lunch now…

NYC teachers have been reporting positive effects from the ban here

I Was thinking about some reports demonstrating the overwhelming benefits of not having access to their cellphones for most of the school day in my country and thought this would be impossible in the US.
How are the parents going to be able to hear the sheer horror and despair in their kids last words during the next school shooting if they take the phones away are have students put them in their lockers only?

They’ve been banning phones since I was in middle school over 10 years ago, you can’t.

There’s no reason for kids to have a phone during school.

Can we stop giving middle schoolers school issued laptops, creating so many problems.

The bans elsewhere have yielded mostly positive results. Social media is bad for these little developing brains and we’re only starting to see the ways it’s affecting them.

California teens would not have that wide of a variety of phones. Everyone has an iPhone, for some reason.
Yes, I know it’s a stock picture.
