    It’s no different than sleeping through class or just doodling and ignoring the teacher. If the kid can’t not have their phone out then they get banished to the back of the class. If they play noise they get sent to the office, just like disruptive kids in every generation.

      And there you have it folks, doodling is the same as these social media apps designed to be addictive that also lead to all kinds of bullying and social anxieties and harassment.

        I’m sorry, you think banning smartphones at school is going to stop cyber bullying? Because bullies infamously follow the rules and kids are at school 24/7?

          You said it was the same as doodling. I responded to that. All that other stuff you added was just fabricated in your own head.

            I believe his point was that if students want to find a way to be distracted, they will - with or without cellphones. I know I certainly was able to distract myself with dooling lol

              It’s not about finding a way to be distracted, it’s about having a device that’s filled with shit that’s meant to be addictive distracting you whether you are seeking it out or not.

      Let’s give them a suspension, send them to their lead painted home with a pack of smokes, just like every generation.
