This teacher taught high-school biology for 11 years. He says smartphones stole his students’ attention and sapped their motivation. So he quit https://t.co/XKs93CjAkm An outright ban is needed, as it has to be equal for all, and beyond the complaints of parents & children.
Not being addicted to your phone is a modern superpower.

Kids feel they are addicted to their phones. Kids need our support as adults! We didn’t grow up with smartphones. It isn’t fair of us to tell them that it will be fine, when they know that they aren’t! Support kids. Ban phones for under 16s. https://t.co/nu5kybQ8KO
