Are you a child/young teen with a completely different brain structure than a mature adult? Do you have already have the media literacy needed to navigate disinfo and toxic content online?
Kids really are a different species, but have predictable development. For every kid that's responsible enough to have unrestricted device access there's 50 more who just aren't mature enough yet. There's a limit to how much you can coach responsibility into them
I think you get that by navigating disinfo and toxic content online, not by aging or going to school. Look at all the adults who believe everything they see online.
Personally I'm conflicted about using phones in class. Most kids shouldn't. But there's a rare type, kids like me. I was intelligent (for high school, anyway - I make no claims about being more intelligent than average as an adult lol), social and have ADHD. I went through the textbooks for the quarter in the first week and then it was either hill climb racing and temple run, or chatting to my classmates who needed to pay attention more than I did.
FTFY.
