      It’s not possible to participate in society without a phone

      It’s not a good thing to stunt the development of people we expect to depend on phones one day.

      It’s good to ban them during class because they’re a distraction. But human beings need phones to live in this world.

      Phones =/= bad, that’s lazy boomer logic

        Why not just give them feature phones? Things that you can communicate with but which don’t have social media on them? If you need to access a website, just do it at home on a laptop or something. It’s important for kids to be able to experience being a kid before we thrust a digital life on them

        Screens aren’t the problem. It’s how we tend to use them for the most part.
