Ep. 5 – No Phones, Who Dis? Devices in Schools
From Two Factor Parenting · 41:28
Show by Matt & Val Davis
Phones, smartwatches, Chromebooks — where should schools draw the line? In this episode, Matthew and Val talk through the growing push for phone-free schools, North Carolina’s new device rules, and why the real question is bigger than “phones or no phones.” They dig into whether smartwatches are a harmless compromise or just tiny phones, how school-issued laptops can become distraction machines, and what kids lose when every idle moment gets filled by a screen. The goal isn’t anti-tech. It’s pro-attention, pro-learning, and pro-human interaction.
