📱 The Phone Problem in Schools Is Worse Than You Think
What are smartphones really doing to students, learning, and the classroom?
In this video, I sit down with Angela Duckworth, psychologist, professor, and author of Grit, to discuss one of the biggest challenges facing schools today: student phone use.
We talk about why phones are so difficult for students to put down, how they affect attention and learning, what teachers are experiencing in classrooms, and what schools and parents can realistically do about it.
Is banning phones the answer? Should students be allowed to use them at school? And how can teachers compete with a device specifically designed to capture their attention?
If you're a teacher, parent, or anyone interested in education, this conversation will give you plenty to think about.
🎓 In this video:
Why smartphones are so distracting for students
The impact of phones on attention and learning
What teachers are seeing in classrooms
Whether school phone bans actually work
How parents can help
What students need to develop better self-control
Why this problem may be bigger than we realize
Watch until the end for Angela's advice on what schools and teachers should do next.
