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.
Crybabies
fuck you.
Fuck off you privileged asshole.
Really? I feel like everything I’ve said has been pretty civil all things considered.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Very nice, thank you for sharing. Have a nice day.
