Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca also apply here:
We already have this in France, up to around 14-15 yo. Banned in school altogether.
Guess what, the kida are okay with that.
Also, banning it "in classrooms" seems like a given, do you use your steam deck in the classroom? If no then why your phone.
I agree. Teachers are ALREADY trying to stop kids using cellphones in class, this just gives tools to do so.
The kids aren't okay with that. I'm sure that instead of staying quiet and messing with their phones, they're now actively causing a disturbance in the class.
I know this because I went to both types of schools- where phones were banned and where they weren't. Guess what- if ur class is shit, kids are going to find some distraction to kill the time. If phones are there, those would be the distraction. If phones aren't there, then hooliganism, disturbing the class, taking the piss out of the teacher, etc. would be the distractions.
The problem isn't the phones. The problem is boring classes, which are a result of a broken and underfunded education system.
