I can use my phone at work and it helps a lot.

Because I have so much fucking down time on weekends

Oh definitely at work

confiscation of personal distracting items is pretty standard in the UK

But if phones are nit needed

Especially for kids

Keep it away from them

i did a summer course and gave my nintendo 3ds to the teacher before going to the washrrom and came back and my ds was gone i was livid

They don't have self control

thats true

Oh shitt

Idk, they didn't do shit like that

teach self control, but the witch hunt on tech is OTT

IT HAD POKEMON WHITE IN IT!!!

I WAS LEGIT LIVID

But if it was confiscated we had to pay up and bring our parents to take it back

i had put so much effort into playing that game

Ah fuck that sucks

thats stupid and a giant waste of parents time.....

yeah

But it's the kids fault idk

i stopped trusting teachers with my shit once that happened, even before that my trust in teachers was pretty slim

Dont give your kids phones till they are 14 idk

it is important to teach kids moderation

True

But when they don't have self control

exactly i ddint get my first phone until i was 15-16

I'd actually argue that nobody under 18 needs a cellphone, but I grew up in the dark ages, way back in the 90s.

god that was hell

They cannot handle their own phones

Desktop with moderation is a thing

Oh definitely

No, I'd argue that kinda too

yeah

But not the age kinda decreased

Just don't give it to obvious kids

Cellphones weren't that common when I was in high school, so we never had much of an issue with people using them during class.

Especially phones

i honesty think that once kids start going out with friends they should be given a phone

Yep

thats normamly around 14-16yrs old
