    Everyone’s struggle is valid, everyone handles different stresses in different ways. Bullying people won’t make them fit in the box you have made for them.

      If someone is bitching this hard about not having their phone (while they should be paying attention in school, I might add!), then they are on the phone too damn much and need it taken away.

        Children were handed a portal to all the information they could want, and constant contact with everyone they know.

        I’d stress if someone stole all of that from me too. If you want to bully me over it go for it, but don’t bully children for crying out loud.

        Edit: also read the article. Nobody is complaining. They are using data to show it can take years of phone limiting to get the desired results of better behavior and test scores.

          Come now. You and I both know kids in a geometry lecture aren’t using their phones to look up geometry proofs.

            Ah yes, it’s the children’s fault we haven’t changed our approach to education since the industrial revolution.

            I texted and listened to my iPod in school, I can guarantee students have been disruptive and hard to teach forever. The phones may enhance their distraction but, students doodle, daydream, and dissociate all the time.

            Want students engaged in schooling? Engage with programs that make education more interesting, and help students find better ways to learn.

              The phones may enhance their distraction

              Yes, that is why phones are increasingly banned during school. A whole host of distractions are banned during school.

              Engage with programs that make education more interesting, and help students find better ways to learn.

              We can (and should) do both!

                You literally cut off the other half of that idea that explains the phones are not the center of the problem, and said they are the center of the problem.

                If you want to miss the point and argue in bad faith, go ahead I guess.

                You won’t change my mind: School needs to be engaging enough that students don’t seek distractions. Phones, books, clicky-pens, daydreams, doodles, writing, passing notes, all fulfill the same exact purpose of amusing a bored mind.

            I was the type of child who quite literally would have been doing that, I did not learn most things they tried to teach until they left me the fuck alone to learn it myself (so after I got out of school) I scored terribly most of my childhood on everything but as soon as I started in higher education and could I did

            I cannot say everyone would but I can say as soon as I got the chance I did

        Unfortunately, I did not choose the level of privilege I was born into. It sucks that you feel like trauma has to be some pissing contest. Please try to be a little nicer to people, I’m sure it will get you a lot further in the long run.

            Crybabies

            fuck you.

            Fuck off you privileged asshole.

            Really? I feel like everything I’ve said has been pretty civil all things considered.

                Gladly, I’ll go learn some new programming concepts on Khan Academy. Thank you for the excellent suggestion.

                Lastly, please consider breaking less community rules. I count 3, arguably 4 you have violated here.

                Thank you for engaging with Lemmy and keeping it active.
