There's just so much to say about all of this. The topics touched on here are what keep me up at night as an educator, elder millennial, and former sociology major who struggles with her own tech dependence.
I hear you, Reyna. It sounds like you see this problem up close every day. THANK YOU for your service :) Are you in a school that still allows students to carry smartphones? What does that look like from where you stand? And what resources do you lean on for dealing with your own struggles with tech dependence?
Yes, my current school allows phones- at the middle school they can only access them before/after school, HS allowed during break/lunch. This is one of several devices though as we are 1:1 Macbooks and many students use tablets for note-taking- with all the same apps/access of the phone. It looks the way you imagine it does. Those TikToks won't watch themselves, Patrick!
I'm a morning/night scroll junkie so I think the first step will be charging it in the other room when I sleep... the knowing-doing gap is big at the moment.
