<p>“If I let him study in his room he’s on his iPhone the entire time.” The kids I see with these toys are incredibly distracted by them. They are texting and watching youtube in class. Don’t believe the school if they say this is against school policy or something. It’s happening. The few I tried to work with in student activity groups were impossible. They literally cannot get their eyes off these phones and focus on what they are supposed to be doing. I would never put an iphone in the hands of my 14 year old. If this were my child, at this point, I’d take the iphone away, and say he gets it back when he has a 3.5 average. </p>
