I have a 16 year old nibbling. Very popular. They shared their phone social life with me just last week. They have 2200 unread text messages and 700 active Snapchat conversations. Not a great student. At home, never comes out of their room. Up past midnight on their phone. There’s no way allowing them access to their phone during school allows for any schooling to happen. This is what the school system is up against (in certain kinds of privileged high tech communities). They may already be too old for a hard shift, and it’s too enabled by their home life situation, but their school career already feels set.
