The Role of Mobile Phones in Education

Mobile phone usage in schools is a significant concern, with ongoing debates about their impact on children's learning. A proposal was introduced to raise the age of internet adulthood from 13 to 16 years, aiming to prevent companies from harvesting children's data and pushing addictive content. This change is meant to give parents more control over their children's online exposure and limit their access to potentially harmful material. The conversation highlights the responsibility parents have in monitoring their children's use of technology, emphasizing a collective effort to prioritize children's well-being.
