I would think that a _total_ ban on devices _during school hours_ would hit the 80/20 mark of preventing psychological harm to kids, without the invasiveness of digital ID. Idiot parents that say "omg what if i have to contact my kid during classes" can blow it out their collective *sses - it is they being invasive and harmful. | ||

What a coincidence that they chose to do it around the same time they're all pushing digital ID (independently of each other, of course.) | ||

Interesting to see in 10-20 years if this will have a significant impact for the mental well-being and intelligence of young adults. I'm assuming it will be pretty obvious. | ||
