Comment on France to tighten mobile phone ban in middle schools

Ask any teacher how they feel about smartphones in their classes. I have teacher friends who work with teenager 15-18 and they are talking about horrible focus and constant distraction. These kids are hooked on their phones like heroin. If the parents don’t feel like educating their kids on proper smartphone etiquette, it’s up to schools again.

Maybe they need more teachers instead?

Sure we always need more teachers but you can’t combat phone addiction with more teachers. If the students are unable to focus enough to read 3 pages they sure as shit will not be able to focus on two teachers. Just as a reminder these kinds are in their last 4 years of school, all of them are here on their own accord. The Matura is not mandatory. All of these kids want to go to universities. This is education for white collar jobs.

Why would the students be unable to focus? They’re not allowed to literally stare in their phone during class.

Because their ability to focus is shot to shit by the short dopamine circles tiktop, insta and YT Shorts

Porque no los dos?
Let’s do both. Yeah, more teachers are needed and yes, smart phones nmust be banned for younger kids, especially in places like schools. Teach them proper and responsible use
