    The amount of times I told my students they can use their phone for certain exercises, then 90% of them just went on Tiktok or played Clash Of Clans, is why is started not allowing phones.

    I get that to the 10% it was super helpful but it’s just easier to not allow everyone.

      Like flight mode there should be school mode where students can only use a provided wlan that comes with content filters.

        Block cellular with thick walls, then only allow them through wifi. Things like youtube can only be acces with a cabled connection. Something like this seems like a good start.

        100%, if the schools were funded well enough, issuing school phones would be amazing!

        School computers work well because they block most of the distractions but ofc students have 1001 distractions in their own!
