    Ah yes, if [unnamed vague concept] of German “educational” “experts” say so then it MUST both be an 1) honest report of findings, and 2) objectively correct facts. Opinion changed. Boom done.

    Just kidding.

    Thats stupid, and even if they are real and think so, I think they are stupid then lol.

    Banning phones means banning phones. It’s hard for kids to sneak a brick of bright light when they’re in a classroom of their peers facing the teacher, so noone will be missing out on anything so long as the teachers properly enforce the new rule.

    I think it likely that there will be more positive outcomes by forcing children to socialize face-to-face which is natural and especially important at that age.

    Your comment essentially boils down to: Some people think we should just let kids do whatever they want and don’t worry about discipline, rules, or things needing a “right place and the right time.” You reek of “millennial/ipad-kid parent” lol.

      Of course the mentioned experts (Deutsches Kinderhilfswerk, Zentrum für Digitalen Fortschritt, Gesellschaft für Medienpädagogik, Bundeselternrat in an open letter to the government) based that on studies. Here is one of the meta studies: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.1177/20556365241270394

      The answer simply is not as simple as you may think. The judgmental nonsense in the last paragraph doesn’t change that of course.
