Survivorship bias and privilege. We never had phones in our classrooms.
Comment on It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System
Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 1 day agoI just think banning them outright is bad for needing to contact parents, especially for kids like me who had after school activities often.
Ok, well that’s completely ridiculous.
Look, 25 years ago nobody had cell phones in school. Kids had just as many after school activities, this wasn’t a problem. It was sometimes inconvenient, but not a problem. It’s also worth remembering, many rooms in every high school have phones, you’ll be able to use one if you need to.
I get wanting to have your phone throughout the day, I do. But on the other hand… no.

Yes indeed. You should ask your parents about the aunts and uncles you would have had if only smartphones had been invented 2 decades earlier. I am sure they will have tons of stories to tell /s.

You mean like landlines teachers had at their desks?
I suppose that’s fair.
