Technically children should be allowed to access electronics after stage 4 of brain development and that is 8 years old. Now we do stage 1, during brain growth. That’s like testing medicine on humans lol. We’re live testing our species right now. May as well go extinct at this point.

Orr we can reform classrooms where kids aren’t forced to stay still for 8 hours a day in 45 minute chunks. Schools are Taylorist remnants whose main purpose is the creation of obedient drones. The phones are a distraction from the underlying cause

Well, they don’t have to ban them.

Just install profiles on them. Inside school hours certain connections and apps are blocked. We’ve had this tech since iPhone 3. I’m sure the parents will be happy to sign the slip.

It’s either that or ban them. And if anyone’s worried about control; then just ban them. But there’s a long-standing tech option to avoid this, specifically to prevent banning.
