Lee Underwood's Response to Smartphone Bans in Schools

In response to a podcast episode discussing the impact of smartphone bans in schools, high school teacher Lee Underwood expressed concern over the addictive nature of social media and smartphones among students. He emphasized the need for a more proactive approach, pointing out that simply prohibiting smartphones without teaching students how to manage them effectively could lead to negative outcomes akin to past failed 'just say no' approaches like those used for smoking prevention in previous generations. Underwood advocated for teaching students skills like 'chronological binding' to help them manage smartphone use effectively.
