Comment on France to tighten mobile phone ban in middle schools
K4mpfie@feddit.org 6 days agoSure 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

That’s not going to get much better by disallowing phones in school

I disagree. Any detox is a good start. However, maybe you want to expand on your idea of how more teachers should just make the problem go away? I, and I think the whole world, would love to hear how sb with a bachelor in education should break the addiction circle dreamed up by multi million tech companies. Phones are made to be addictive and the platforms they provide only focus on maximising the engagement time. I’m happy to hear any other option against that circle that doesn’t boil down to “Don’t engage with them”
