The Israel ministry of Education has announced that it will ban the use of cellphones in middle schools. In the past, it has banned the use in primary schools. 14 years ago, the ministry pushed for WIFI , tablets, laptops and then cellphones in schools. We then warned against this and predicted that kids will have lower grades, lower reading-writing skills, and have worse communication skills, and some of them will become sensitive to Electromagnetic radiation (as my child has).
We went to court on this issue and lost. WIFI was deployed, and BYOD (Bring Your Own Device – meaning using cellphones in class) was adopted.
Now everybody can see the damage, and the ministry is banning the use in middle schools.
Not just in Israel, also in Norway – https://youtu.be/DbMTfxM7npY
