DeSantis: It’s Not Healthy to Have Kids Buried in Their Phones Eight Hours a Day

EXCERPT:

DeSANTIS: "It’s interesting, Sean. So, last year, we did a bill that I signed that said school districts could say, no cell phones during class time. There was a huge uproar about that. People were saying that somehow this was too restrictive. And yet what’s happened this school year, the kids are learning better. Everyone is happier because the attention is on what’s happening in the classroom. I would also say, just as a parent, my wife and I have talked about this, our kids are too young to have any phones, we’ve decided that when they do get a phone, probably not going to be a smartphone, it will be one of those old flip phones that we used to have, where they can make a call if they need anything from us, but we don’t have to worry about all the hundreds of different apps. And here’s the thing, Sean, too: apart from all the really significant harms with the predators, it’s not healthy to have kids buried in their phones eight hours a day."
