Practically impossible as schools rely heavily if not solely on apps to inform students about the hows and what’s of the day. But maybe, just maybe it will improve the situation and things will turn for the better.

@LadyMont This will backfire spectacularly.

If you cannot explain to the kids the concept of self discipline, their withdrawal filled classes will be pointless.

@LukeAlmighty @LadyMont yeah man. While you're at it, you should give your kid heroin to learn about willpower and abstinence.

We didn't have phones and social media designed to fuck with our dopamine receptors as kids. You can't simply say that kids are just weak if they can't break the habit.

Why don't you quit the fedi for two months to prove you're better than gen alpha?

@PonyPanda @LadyMont
Man, I have much bigger problems then fediverse in my life.

And thanks for missing my point completely. Phones exist, and they won't be in the safe while they do their homework. The phones won't be guarded while the kids have to learn before the exams.

Kids have to learn how to put phone down on their own, and class is the best place to learn it.

@LukeAlmighty @LadyMont I'm putting you to task. You're making a judgement call about gen alpha's self-discipline and saying that educators shouldn't intervene because the kids' inability to put down their phones is something deeper in their character that regulation won't fix.

I think you're full of shit. You take for granted that older generations weren't assailed with the level of distraction media that the current one is and you simply expect the kids to get by as we did.

So show us the power of self-discipline and cut off your social media access.

Well, thanks for confirming you didn't bother to read my post.

@PonyPanda @LadyMont Shaming?
We're talking about future generations and problems they're going to face, and all you care about is some stupid dare?

Stop acting like a nigger and realize, that "future generations are going to need a will of steel" is the polar opposite of "they lack discipline". But I'm seriously concerned you are just another midwit too triggered to read properly.
