It’s so wild to hear cell phones for kids being spoken of as “a right” when they didn’t even exist for some of us as kids.
I get that times change, but phones feel more like a privilege than a right. Just like driving. I remember “it’s a privilege, not a right” being hammered in during driving school, as irresponsible driving can mean having your privilege revoked. Having that expectation for phones as well makes sense.
While phones may cause some issues, the blatant disregard of any issues bans cause by administration and lawmakers makes it hard to trust reports of success for me, as in my experience, the removal of phones seems to wall off school from students lives, even during breaks and makes students stressed and feel overworked for no reason but “phone bad”
