APA – Health advisory on social media use in adolescence

I mean I think schools should be stricter on cell phone use. I just think it's a bit of a lost cause at this point.

If I had kids I would 100% send them to a school that banned smartphones with dumb phones for texting and calling the only thing allowed between classes.

It’s not a lost cause. Many venues lock cell phones for adults with Yondr pouches. Why can’t that work for kids during school?

Why should schools babysit your kids? Just don't let them take their phones to school?

Because, unfortunately, in the case of my kids' school (South NL) - they send their e-mail and notifications over digital channels (rather than the loudspeaker at the school).

So if a class gets cancelled, online is the only way to find out about it.
