We should give up the useless fight with our
students and buy phones for them instead. Some
kinds of screen time work well in school. Research,
for example, is sometimes done more effectively
online rather than tracking down print sources in a
library. Screens also helps us connect with people in
other locations, creating new digital pen pals.
Screens can also be integrated into the classroom
to enhance learning instead of distracting from it.
