[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The boys are my school are far more likely to have phone addiction issues.  So, they definitely get more attention from me in response.[/quote]

I see the same thing.

[b]The boys are playing games and watching videos every second they can.[/b] They don’t know how to focus for more than 10 seconds. Movement infused lessons used to help with wriggly boys and now it doesn’t make a big difference because it’s their brains craving dopamine.

Girls have social drama on their phones, but they don’t seem to need to use them nonstop. [/quote]

OP post is about elementary so the kids probably don't have their own phones. Maybe the problem is the heavy use of Chromebooks such that the addictive screen is always a fingertip away.[/quote]m

Sorry, no. It’s not Chromebooks at school. It’s endless devices at home, where they are at least 16 hours a day, seven days a week. Stop deflecting.[/quote]

The chromebooks are not the issue.  The curriculum and teaching style is.  If your kids have endless devices that's on you as a parent but many of our kids don't.  Teachers use them as babysitters in lower grades.  However, some kids handle it fine and others don't.  Phones are not allowed in ES generally so thats a mute point.[/quote]
