I wish this would also happen here in Germany.
It is so disheartening to see patterns of addiction in so many of my students on a daily basis…

Remember the new wave of flip phones?
Yeah, this is about to happen even more so, but this time for real and not as smartphones.

This is currently in the news here in Ireland too. The Government, in its last Budget, has allocated €9m to buying magnetically sealed pouches for phones belonging to students.
The Opposition, schools and Teacher Associations have all said it is a waste of funding and could’ve been spent elsewhere within the education and mental health services.
