The nation’s second-largest teachers union said Thursday it was losing patience with social media apps that it says are contributing to mental health problems and misbehavior in classrooms nationwide, draining time and money from teachers and school systems.
“I may have mental health problems, but you also have mental health problems” does not…strike me as an argument against lessened social media use…
If the instructors were doing this, they’d need to be fired because they are not doing their job. If the students are doing this, well, you can’t fire them from learning, so it needs to be handled at the source.
Would also be pretty neat if we gave the educational system perhaps a money, and the problem is probably exacerbated by all that future the students tangibly don’t have. But a heavy increase in counseling won’t make anyone listen. I vote for addressing both, both is good.
I also forsee a handful of court cases when parents inevitably make their kids’ “non-minor” accounts because they just want to be left alone.
