My kid is out of control. He can’t stop staring at his handheld. At meals. At the grocery store. In the car. I was never like this when I was his age. He’s being drawn into other worlds. Worlds I don’t understand. It’s only intensified since school let out for the summer. Help!

Should schools ban student cell phones? It’s a more complicated question than a lot of people take the time to consider. I’ve always argued that we should focus more on behaviors than devices. What are your thoughts?

My brand new piece is out today! I weigh in on the heated discussion involving student phone bans at school, and cover the research on mental health and academic achievement, the implementation, perceptions, my takeaways, a reason to ban and not to ban. https://t.co/iNbz5G6fSo

@MonicaLewinsky @AshaRangappa_ @neal_katyal Yes, unanimous guilty on each count. Theoretically there could have been agreement on some charges but not all. But in this case, agreement on all. Super surprised there wasn’t at least one supporter hold out.

@DrMeldrum Good luck and stay safe!
