Why is this the stupidest bullshit? I'm honestly surprised this wasn't already a thing in schools
I had mind numbingly boring classes when I was in school. Why were they boring in the first place? Cuz the curriculum was stupid/the teachers weren't that good. The solutions to both problems are by increasing the education budget.
I also had teachers who were so amazing that noone was distracted. My point is, kids don't use phones in classes for absolutely no reason. Kids do that cuz the classes are shite. Fix the classes and the kids won't use their phones.
You may not have but many people get involved in drama and have OCD about knowing everything and responding immediatly, for those types they can't put the phone down even with the best twachwr present.
Then that's a disorder that they need to be taught how to deal with. They won't stop doing this when they get out of school, no? Isn't school the best place to teach them how to deal with it? You know... Cuz it's school... Where teaching is supposed to happen...
Mental health "schooling" should be part of learning, but it currently isn't and reinforcing OCD/anxiety disorders by allowing it makes it worse. Its why you also see the kids with the parent that is constantly in touch and rescuing creating a child that can't function on their own because they have never had to sit with uncomfortableness. People stopped learning distress tolerance by natural methods
