Kids spend way too much time on phones. They need to concentrate on reading, writing and arithment which schools need to go back to teaching. I believe social media has harmed our children.

Obviously, phones are addictive and kids having them in the classroom - when they should be paying attention to what is being taught - will make them stupid!! Many are slaves to their phones and they are a major distraction in classrooms.

Yes, so kids can concentrate on there school work instead of texting or watching sports. Here is a solution for the Columbia Missouri school district they can buy cellphone security bags from this company. https://www.overyondr.com/phone-free-schools
