For my kids that were in that age range, and their peers, it meant drama being spread while teacher was trying to keep studenta focused onvthe lesson, rather than their phone screen. it will definitely have an impact, as it will be a short break from it at least.
Passing notes?
example
I think it might be different than in class and assumes this will be enforced, it’s not like schools couldn’t ban then before
Pagers were banned in my school but not the school over
Schools should have banned them immediately. So much immediate need to know what another student in another class is doing, and distance bullying.
My kids are now teaching, they said kids 8 years old have Apple watches and are totally distracted from the lesson by notifications, and probably helicopter parent texting them.
I worry our future generations will have no inner peace, as I see a part of life that is missing is being able to enjoy your own company and delve into a single task.
