[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish there was a way to take everyone’s phone away just for the first 4 weeks, to let them get out of their comfort zones and bond. Like at summer camp.[/quote]

They should. My kid is at a high school with a phone ban and the teachers said it's amazing what they are seeing. Teens are connecting more again and much more socially appropriate with eachother.

I go on reddit boards to find out about colleges and found it interesting some teens post saying they are looking for friends. [b]In college, we found all our friends on our hallway, in class, and at clubs. Then we made more friends through friends of friends. We had no cell phones then so when we arrived at class/a club/lunch we spoke to eachother. [/quote][/b]

This is the huge difference.  You just needed to be out and about and connections came with ease.  Now everyone is tied to HS friends and others online and misses the opportunities right in front of them.    The friend of a friend phenomenon at college was fantastic![/quote]
