I saw one of the student using iPhone13 to snap,

I think they should banned any internet phone in secondary schools.

They do lol

abbeyfel:
Unfortunately it doesn't work like that!

I know, na how the thing take pain me make me talk like that...

A very big and loud amen..

tutudesz:

Buying them the lastest gadgets is not the problem, check most of this kid father's were cultists in university.

But why will a responsible parent be buying latest gadget for kids at such age. The civilized society we are trying to emulate don't even do that. They make specialised device for that age group and they monitor them online through free wifi in schools and public places. What that dude you quoted said is very correct. The government should as a matter of urgency ban kids in schools from using gadget not specifically made for their age group.

You didn't get my point. I we blaming the gadgets for their bad behavior I will blaming the gadgets for the death of the young boy Buying them the lastest gadgets wouldn't stop a bad kid from doing bad things and a good kid from doing good things.

See I understand what you are trying to pass and you are not wrong. You are very correct. However you are not correct by implying that gadgets don't have a negative effect on child development. I know you didn't think this through before typing it and I'm also not blaming you for it. This is the exact same ignorance many parents display today. Please just try and google through to see if the gadget can have any negative effect to the child development and what kind of behaviours the kids are likely to exhibit when they are exposed to these devices.

There is a reason why kids are strictly monitored in advanced climes. If it wasn't dangerous then why are they not care free like us here.

My submission is this:
Can the use of adult device alter a child behaviour? --------------Yes
Can it be responsible for what we are discussing here?--------------Yes
Can you sue the gadget company for damages?-------------No

So why can't they be sued? Because they clearly made you aware these devices were not monitored and not for kids. They didn't expect that parents will be that foolish to purchase such devices without taking measures to protect their kids.

Cultistism existed before mobile phones.
Wickedness of seniors in school existed before mobile phones.
If you are saying this gadgets can make a evil child more evil, I will agree with you on that.

My brother this is not a subject of debate. It is a research that has already been completed in Education. That is why other developed world are working towards that line. In Nigeria we copy senselessly.

Meanwhile the kids we have today, are they the same with those before?
And was there cultism in secondary schools before phones existed?
Also I will like you to also mention how many people you heard was killed as a result of brutality meted out by seniors before the advent of phones.

See ICT has its merit and demerit. It appears you didn't goggle what I asked you to otherwise you wouldn't have typed this last message.

I don't understand are you blaming the action of this kids on their gadgets
A research carried out in developed world is different from developing world.
Or are you suggesting a research on hunger in Nigeria, will have a positive impact in America

@ the bolded, what you're implying is that the demerit of ICT does not apply to kids in Nigeria because it is a developing society?? This is the most absurd and ridiculous thing I've heard in a while.

Can you compare the exposure of ICT in developed and developing countries During the lockdown, how many kids in Nigeria had access to mobile devices for online classes
Mobile device among Nigerian kids is very low, compare to kid in developed countries.

You are yet to answer my question. Are you blaming the actions of this kids on their gadgets Even America is yet to blaze school shooting on gadgets

I have answered that question in my previous post. Don't blame me if you didn't read it. This is an extract:

If you had goggled that you wouldn't be asking this. I can't keep going round and round.
