Qual è la tua opinione a riguardo? Venendo da una cultura diversa, mi preoccupa il fatto che qui in Finlandia i ragazzi abbiano troppo tempo davanti allo schermo e poco tempo per studiare. Sicuramente problemi mentali dato che il tempo è lo stesso per tutti. Non ho assistito a episodi di bullismo mentre la Finlandia non è più un paradiso dell’istruzione di alta qualità secondo i risultati PISA degli ultimi anni.

Smartphones and social media are the worst thing to happen to society in this millennium. It’s not only screen time but the effects they have on individuals, their brain, behaviour and society at large. Basically just pitting people against each other to increase the time people spend using the service.
There’s such strong division, everything is us vs them, as if having a different opinion on something is enough to be considered an enemy. It causes a ton of mental issues and unhealthy expectations.
I would remove smartphones from kids, ban all social media that has algorithmic recommendactions and attention seeking in forms of follow, like counts etc ( i know it’s not easy ) and remove all the bs added to schools in last 25 years. Use some real conputers for some schoolwork when it’s actually useful, they might even learn to use them. Teach basics well and demand they pass the exams which should be graded objectively.
90% of it is just lazy parenting and wanting the state to do it for them. Just changed my kids daycare because they started giving them tablets to use and stopped going outside. There is absolutely no reason for a 3yr old to have a tablet. Why not fuckin take them outside once and awhile. It comes down to the parents.
I come from a region where maths and science are given a lot of priority in school, most kids have several extra curricular clubs there is a LOT of homework and there are super important final exams that literally decide your future because not everyone is guaranteed a good higher education and the gap between best universities and other universities is quite wide.
I read chats for immigrant parents and they are usually pissed about how relaxed Finnish educational system is, especially in maths and about how kids do nothing. Kids are way happier in Finnish educational system than in my home country though.
In this situation I honestly sympathize with kids more. Yes, I do believe that the system back at home is better for exceptionally talented and educated kids, but that are a minority – most of the people are mediocrities. Mediocrities don’t need advanced maths and studying from early morning to late night to end up working in a store or middle of the road desk job or whatever. There is no need to make them struggle unless they are to be *left behind* in a bad school or to never get in a good uni. I would rather see everyone get a happy childhood and then some kids to pick up advanced stuff they *need* later or *want* now. If smartphones are a part of the normal childhood now – so be it. They are going to live in the world of people who grew up with smartphones too after all.
