Kids under 16s shouldnt have smartphones in general
“Brought to you by Meta.”
little _positive_ difference*
Dont agree. Even so a small bit is a great result. We.work from there like they did in australia
Has it made difference to grades / class disruption levels / pupils physically socialising with one another?
So what? If rather they weren’t distracted during school. The mental health issue is more about whether they should have access at all
1. This isn’t really the goal of restricting smartphones in school. The point is that they’re a distraction in classrooms.
2. Of course it’s not going to have an impact on mental health when they’re still using them outside of school?
Just read it in the BMJ and this study seems to have the same limitations as previous ones in that
1) it doesn’t distinguish whether the “restrictive” schools are actually restrictive (ie, are the children actually keeping the phones in lockers or do the teachers just think they are).
2) Its definition of “restrictive” is actually way too permissive. Concentration studies have shown that keeping phones in pockets (indeed even in the same room) is really destructive! Allowing kids to have them vibrating away during lessons is madness.
3) It doesn’t collect average screentimes for both cohorts of kids. If the “restrictive” kids are chalking up 20-30 minutes in bathrooms, or on screens all evening to “make up” the school screentime, that would be significant information to have
4) (This is a quibble, it’s not a huge issue) it’s a shame the “restrictive” kids outnumber the “permissive” kids 2-to-1. Getting an equal number, and being sure that all the children were operating under identical regimes would be much better.

There is absolutely NO WAY this is true 😂. I’m a fully grown adult and if I restrict my own phone usage I feel MUCH BETTER mentally .
They give them tablets in school which are just as bad if not wirse. They lock stuff down but they are still mailing each other, gossiping, bullying, using the cameras etc. Why would anyone expect a measurable positive impact when you just swap one screen for a bigger screen?
It has been proven that kids are less engaged and retain less when they are taught through iPads. This video makes the point really well.
