I understand that we may want to argue that times have changed, we all know that, but there’s one thing that should improve with the change in time, and that is, building the intelligence of the children of this generation because the future is tech and it won’t wait for anybody to catch up. However, sadly, only a few of these children understand the positive use of a phone in school.
“Hello, I need your help”, she said. I wondered what happened because it was rare that she would call me to ask that I travelled from my location. So, I inquired what happened, and when she told me, I wasn’t shocked, I was just disappointed.
She said, her child who is a high school student with an android device, takes her phone to school daily because she said they use it in their classes, however, she was using it for something else entirely. She surfed the internet for nothing relating to school, chats with men and boys alike during the school and classes hours and never pays attention to her assignments because she mostly was on her phone.
Even when she had exams to write, she focused not on the important things like learning from YouTube, checking out or reading further on topics online, rather, her focus was on the men in her DM telling her how beautiful she is at sixteen years old.
Now, for this reason, I would really not approve that a high student is allowed to use a phone in school.
Talk about using AI for their exams, tests, and classes, it would really be interesting if they are trained on how to make AI do some of their works, but I believe that this will only encourage mental laziness because they wouldn’t see a need to try to read books, or try to solve their assignments on their own without the help of AI. Now, that will be a huge challenge.
AI as it is, is being trained by some people who took their time to learn from various sources, and feed AI with the information that they provide for us. Now, imagine that they had the opportunity, all the unique AIs that we now have may never have come into existence because there will be utmost dependence on the result of others before they could explore their own option of building their version or they may never think of it.
Allowing these students to have access to AI for tests and exams would mean that we are building a generation of mentally lazy people who wouldn’t dare to be innovative because someone already made life easier for them.
Allowing phones for high school students, for me will be based on an important factor which is parental guidance. There is that feature on android devices where parents can monitor what their children watch on their phones. Then, strict measures in place for phone time so that they won’t lose focus on the most important things to their future.

Truly, times have changed but like U said, we should not encourage mental laziness because that's what dependence on phones and Ai will lead to.
Yeap yeap. Thank you for stopping by.
I love that last point, allowing them to use AI for tests or exams would make them become lazy and not be innovative or creative. The downsides of this is so much that it will damage this generation more than good.
Exactly. Now imagine the stress it will cause for the teachers, and what the future will look like?
Thank you very much.
