Our children's welfare concerns all of us. When a book explaining that they're in trouble because of smartphones was published last year, the message went viral across America. A state governor thought it so important that she sent a copy of the book to every state governor.
Screens are addicting. Students really need to pay attention in school, but there's a phone in their pocket tempting them with instant gratification. Which is more fun, classroom work or TikTok?
Maybe that governor had a big affect on the country, because a total of 22 states took steps to restrict phones in school just this year (image).
Grown-ups build boundaries around school children for their protection in situations where they may not be prepared to protect themselves.
