oh you‘re that guy. nevermind then, I don’t expect empathic thoughts from you. blocking will keep me from accidentally replying to you so don’t you worry.

Not everyone has the luxury of close proximity public infrastructure and workplace.

I just relayed an opinion I’ve heard on the radio. You are being weirdly aggressive. I‘d rather raise a kind human and I‘m fine if they can’t use their phones in the classroom. Byebye

I named the groups, go and find their other sources. I don’t really have time for this because I really do have a kid to parent, without even owning an iPad. I hope they don’t grow up to be so rude and obnoxious like some other people.

Of course the mentioned experts (Deutsches Kinderhilfswerk, Zentrum für Digitalen Fortschritt, Gesellschaft für Medienpädagogik, Bundeselternrat in an open letter to the government) based that on studies. Here is one of the meta studies: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.1177/20556365241270394

The answer simply is not as simple as you may think. The judgmental nonsense in the last paragraph doesn’t change that of course.

No it‘s not, but calling a terrorist attack that targeted explicitly civilians „spreading carnage“ is.

No they are not.

They could have walked around it. The festival wasn’t the only massacre of civilians that day. This was not a military maneuver, it was directly targeted at civilians, specifically women and Jews.

Yes, we need to reform the system.

Why did they attack the music festival?

That’s absolutely not what I meant, sorry for offending. See my other comment.

No I feel misunderstood, but it’s my fault I wasn’t paying attention.

I wondered where they are because they are usually included in this kind of games. It’s not my mother tongue.

Oops yeah

Yes yes, but what kind of framing is

the day Hamas and other groups broke out of their Gaza prison camp, spreading carnage, following 17 years of a brutal siege.

Sounds like an excuse to a terror attack with almost exclusively civilian targets. Why is it so hard for advocates of the Palestinian cause to condemn this attack??

Uhm yes. A second argument was that the children need to learn media literacy with the medium they use the most. Of course this would need more competence and guiding on the side of the teachers.

Educational experts, at least here in Germany, advise against a ban. A phone enables participation for a child among children who‘ll just work around the ban. The net effect will be negative.
