[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t read it but DH did and Haidt apparently said that haidt thinks that it should be illegal for kids under 16 to have social media.

I cannot take Haidt seriously since he said that college students are babies because a few college students wanted an absurd level of trigger warnings, but I’d love it if we could [b]somehow stop kids under 16 from having social media.[/b] A broken clock is right twice a day. [/quote]

Have you been on the parenting forums lately? I'm not on any social media (does DCUM count?) and I'll discourage my kids from getting on as long as I can, but huge swaths of good parents are allowing their 11/12/13 year olds on social media for various reasons. It's not like driving a car. Parents should make this decision.[/quote]

5th grade teacher here. Pretty much ch all of my students have phones. Parents do not seem to be monitoring them or limiting them in any way. They talk about being on their phones in the middle of the night. It terrifies me to think about what these kids are being exposed to in their own rooms in the middle of the night. And they can barely keep their eyes open all day because they were up all night. [/quote]
