In case you missed it. That's what we're going
to turn to UNESCO called for a worldwide ban on
smartphones in classrooms claiming that excessive phone usage was linked
to reduced educational performance. The recommendation is from the
2023 global Education monitoring report released yesterday, also claimed
that high levels of screen time had a negative effect
on children's emotional stability and said only technology that has
a clear role in supporting learning should be allowed in
school. It estimated that one in four countries have
already banned smartphones in schools including France, Finland and
Italy. What do you think about this? I
know this ages me but I remember the same conversation
. This is aging me so badly with calculators when
I was in school. I'm not saying it's the
same because UNESCO is actually saying that these phones are
also involved in cyber bullying during the school hours.
I do think a phone like a calculator could be
an educational tool. I think just so hard to
regulate it, regulate it, especially for teachers and
educators inside the classroom. I don't have Children,
but I do think technology is pretty common in classrooms
these days. Everyone has an ipad. Right.
A lot. Yeah, exactly. A laptop or
an ipad. So, I guess if you can
use those and have access to technology without the messaging
teachers, hopefully some of those bad things like cyber
bullying would be weeded out.
