Behind Newsom's restriction on students using mobile phones at school: the game between education and technology

The popularity of smartphones has brought convenience to students, but it has also brought many problems. Students may become addicted to social media, games, etc., which affects their learning efficiency and attention. Newsom's request is, to a certain extent, to allow students to focus more on their studies.

From an educational perspective, limiting cell phone use helps create a more focused and efficient learning environment. In a classroom without cell phone distractions, students can be more fully engaged in the teaching content and interact and communicate more effectively with teachers and classmates.

However, this requirement has also sparked some controversy. Some people believe that smartphones can be used as learning tools in some cases to help students acquire more knowledge and information. Completely restricting their use may limit students' independent learning ability and innovative thinking.

In an era of rapid technological development, education needs to constantly adapt to new changes. How to take advantage of the advantages of technology while avoiding its negative impact is a question that educators and policymakers need to think deeply about.

For individual students, the proper use of smartphones is an important part of developing self-discipline and self-management skills. Parents and schools should work together to guide students and let them know when and where it is appropriate to use their phones, so as to help them develop correct usage habits.

In general, although Newsom's request has triggered different voices, it has also prompted us to think more deeply about the integration and balance of education and technology to better promote the growth and development of students.
