so we are going to see the gaps in education get wider because of it, but eventually these practices will trickle down to lower class communities. once the dataset is larger and shows, without a doubt, that phones make our kids stupider.

same way everyone tries to get their kid into a good charter school. they will eventually try to get their kids into phone free zones. i'm glad phones, even just the shit ones, didn't become ubiquitous until i was in high school.
i actually got my cake and ate it too. it went straight to my ass!

Yea, you have to REALLY monitor kid's activity, and we are not letting Stella have a device for a long, long time, which will be a battle, also. Worth it, though.
i should also clarifiy my earlier statement that social media companies don't do anything to stop this sorta stuff. because, as this Twitch ban shows, they do. but not until after the activity has already happened. there's little being done to stop this stuff from even happening in the first place.
so glad i don't have kids.

this was is also the same guy that started a livestream in a public restroom at a convention. so it's not like he was ever working with a full cranium.
