Phones just made us forget how awesome life is without one.

Just goes to show how phones (I’ll say social media specifically) needs to be taken seriously as a source of chaos.
Anyway; Finland W
Never seen before
“Principals say”.
How about some of that external validation?
i mean mobile phones should be banned , they were banned when i was in school ?
Phones should’ve been given if one has outstanding media literacy….
I’m really glad. I’m not even a parent just yet but it’s still common sense to me that smartphones and social media are an absolute no no for school-age children. They shouldn’t use it at home until at least 15, let alone in a school of all places. How is the situation countries other than Finland? In Britain there’s a proposed law for banning social media to under 16s but there has to be a nationwide ban on its use inside school at least before school ends.
