[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With a little effort -you know parenting- parents could solve this problem for themselves. Even with no effort they could decide not to give their kid a smartphone. But the parents who won’t want to ban phones for everyone else. I still don’t get this. [/quote] Except even if I don't send my kid to school with a phone, another kid could still take an embarrassing photo of my kid and forward it around during lunch. [/quote] Theres also the issue of socialization -- its hard to socialize even if you are well adjusted and put the phone away, when 95% of the student body is phone zombies. Rather than looking like some werido standing around trying to make eye contact, they of course pull out their own phone. Obviously this is a spectrum, but once a phone is pull out, others will follow. Phubbing is contagious! https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/ITP-03-2020-0150/full/html#:~:text=In%20daily%20life%2C%20we%20often,possibility%20that%20phubbing%20is%20contagious.
