Instead of teaching media and online literacy just forbid it, sounds like a good solution.
I am fully competent when it comes to online literacy, and smart phones didn't even exist when I was in school. We had computer labs, computer classes, and libraries with computers in them, we learned just fine.
You don't need to be on social media or Tiktok, or cheat on your assignments with ChatGPT during school hours.
chatgpt isn't cheating
Smartphones have other uses, but more importantly forcing anyone to comply with this rule is gonna make them want to disobey more. It's the responsibility of the education system to educate ofc but also streamline education, make it easier. Keep their attention. If the kids aren't distracted by their phones while they hate their school, I guarantee you they'll find other ways to distract themselves. I'd be maybe fine with banning certain apps. I always say smartphones aren't addictive, they're useful. It's apps that are designed to be addictive.
Have you been in a school recently?
