With devices being such a huge part of our lives in 2023, is banning them really the answer? Parents weigh in.
in England are set to ban pupils from using mobile phones during the school day, as per new government guidance.
“I think phone use is truly doing the youngest generations a huge disservice – both I, my friends and teachers I know are all of the opinion that kids are finding it harder to concentrate, read more than a couple of sentences or to or keep their concentration, all because of the way they are training their brains to scroll through phones at high speed.”Rachel Beech’s son is 12-years-old and attends a school where phones can only be used in one specific area during break times.
The parent says keeping her son off his phone is “a constant battle” so she’s glad he has a break from it during the school day. The 52-year-old tells HuffPost UK she’s all for phones being allowed in schools – providing there are safeguards.
