When It Comes to Banning Smartphones From Schools, What Really Works?
When It Comes to Banning Smartphones From Schools, What Really Works?
It isn't as simple as prohibiting all devices — but going phone-free can help kids thrive, especially when they’re offered fun alternatives to screen time.
Low quality article that ignores the issues and fails to acknowledge the reason for phones being necessary in school; likely because they're talking about a non-American school.
That said; they also didn't acknowledge that the devices can be used to enrich studies when applied and used correctly.
The study they cite in the article is low-quality data that conflates correlation with causation and relies on wildly inaccurate self-reporting from students, parents and teachers.
This isn't a controlled trial; this isn't even a blinded study; nor is the data integrity controlled...it's entirely self-collected and recorded by unqualified observers.
