Greenwich Public Schools recently made a decision that would prohibit the use of cell phones in school starting this year. This would include during students’ open blocks and lunch. This “away all day” policy was said to teach students how to “self-regulate” their cellphone usage for adulthood. Ironically, this decision strips our ability to make decisions regarding our smartphones and to learn so-called “self-regulation.” This new policy would directly go against the idea of freedom with responsibility.
