I wonder how many people don't realize there are classrooms all over the United States where kids literally play on their smartphones and text all through class and don't pay any attention at all. They do F work and it gets graded on a curve up to a C. The teachers are powerless to do anything about it.


There was this TikTok internal memo that stated something like:

US teenagers are the ideal target market for TikTok, because they (get to) spend so much of their time on that app.


Do you think that banning smartphones - or attempting to - will fix any of that?


It will absolutely stop the playing of video games in class while the teacher is attempting to teach.
