Kids’ phone addiction “very much mirrors all the diagnostic features of an actual addiction,” psychologist Nicholas Kardaras said of screen-withdrawal meltdowns including students peppe…
In May, a video of a student pepper spraying an Antioch, Tennessee, teacher who had confiscated her phone went viral.Without clear official orders, teachers can be put in a hard position: forced to make the choice between being the “cool” teacher with a relaxed policy or the “bad guy” who says no phones in class.
But soon the school changed the policy, deferring to teachers to implement their own phone rules. Danz said inconsistency between classrooms has been an issue, as some teachers are more lax than others.“[The lack of a phone policy is] a major detriment. Grades are very poor, generally speaking. I have some classes now where you’re lucky if people even turn assignments in because they’re so distracted.
If teachers are put in the position of being the “bad cop” without the backing of the school, Lembke said they can find themselves on the receiving end of explosive rage when they confiscate phones from students who are literally addicted to their devices.“If you get the [phone] that you use to manage your emotions and to self-soothe and to create your identity ripped away from you, you will feel as if you’re falling into the abyss,” she told The Post.
Although violent outbursts in school are still uncommon, Kardaras thinks they’re becoming more common. The solution, he says, is for phones to stay out of the classroom — whether that means leaving them at home or checking them in at the door. And, although academic data for the plan’s pilot year is yet to come, he’s “certain” that there have been improvements.
