9pm for elementary school children? What are they doing up so late to begin with?

  Cram school.

  Whatever their parent has allowed them to do, since parenting them is their job and not yours.

    It's funny you say this in the context of the article, which is effectively 'parenting' smartphone use across all citizens of Toyoake.

      Well, that wasn't accidental. I think it's insane for a government to wield such power.

        What power? Making a suggestion? Are you okay? Your comments are rather aggressive for no apparent reason.
        • soulofmischief 1y ago
          That's a pretty bad mischaracterization, I haven't shown any aggression at all. Let's focus on what I am saying and not rely on ad hominem by suggesting I'm not okay simply for sharing my opinion. We're starting with "suggestions", but it's a slippery slope, especially when you look at the slew of laws being passed in US states around the freedom for children to use devices and communicate according to their parents' own guidelines. > The city will work with schools and parents to promote the healthy use of electronic devices, according to the draft ordinance. And where will this begin and end? It's moral policing by the government, even if it's only the first soft step in that direction.
