More details

Following the documentary, adolescence, and a number of complaints from both students and teachers, it is clear that mobile phones are effecting our children’s mental health, and ability to learn and concentrate in school.
It creates so much pressure on teachers and leads to a toxic environment where teachers have to consistently tell the students to put their phones away.
