I heard the opposite from our local teachers. Swissinfo article, without any substance, hits again
Pure clickbait. Experiences with phone bans so far have been positive.
They’re sceptical about the way of bans – not sceptical of removing phones out of classrooms. The whole debate about to ban ot not to ban is terrible and one is starting to get sure that this kind of articles are supported by platforms.
We are living in attention economy. Are adults really so off that they weigh the use of a device for paying, mfa and checking the bus (5 min per day) against hours of short form addictive entertainment (5 to 8 hours per day)?
They have a walk to use the phone – are you kidding us? Have a stroll around a random sek in the lunch time. A few weeks ago I accidentally saw it, next to a supermarket. Every single bench was taken by boys playing. They arent talking, they’re all playing. About twenty of them, all in same sitting position, silence, phone. The food is sort of pick and put in the mouth like Pringles or Haribo because even a sandwich needs more valuable attention.

Dream on people. This will have consequences.
