Schools should just be one huge faraday cage. Kids have to learn to focus and pay attention.

And they need to learn the curriculum

I mean I’m not that extreme lmao that’s also a safety issue. Kids will be kids, they will not sit quietly all school day and be total lesson sponges lol

No, but the attention span kids have these days seem to be shortening. Phones and the current state of social media intake doesn't help.

That said, a faraday cage is absolutely too far, but they don't need their phones when they should be focusing on the course.

I hear this a lot but have yet to see evidence/sources from anyone. It’s just “look around you.” I don’t find it particularly compelling. I didn’t exactly sit quietly as a kid myself.
