Such a good essay Alicia. You might find this article interesting. I’m not saying Scotland is leading the way but they recognise the problems mobile phones bring to kids lives at schools and are trying to address it. By all accounts it’s made a difference in a number of ways and the kids and teachers are benefiting from this change. https://www.thenational.scot/news/25142615.edinburgh-high-schools-ban-mobile-phones-scottish-first/

love this. i was pondering something similar recently- do you notice everyone looks so serious and mad when they are tapping away on their phone. like it's some vitally important thing.
