Man. I read the article. You all seem to be taking what I said as "I think students should have cell phones in schools". In actuality I don't think there's any reason for students to have cell phones in schools.

So my argument isn't that I think the ban is bad. My argument is that this is a piss poor way of going about it that doesn't really add any benefits (especially when you consider that the law preventing students from using cell phones in schools has been on the books since 2018).

So this is not an argument about what researchers found as far as differences in the mental health of students allowed to have phones (which is a big jump because at best the phones are tolerated in students pockets or bags not allowed to use them in school during lessons), vs those that aren't. That part of what has been said up and down this comment section is irrelevant. It has nothing at all to do with my original comment.

I don't care what governments recognize about a correlation between student mental health or well being and cell phone use. That's not got anything at all to do with what I said.

If you're disappointed it's literally because you didn't read.
