At many high schools, cellphones are ubiquitous, but they can also mean students are more susceptible to distractions, cyberbullying and other related issues.
As the school year begins, families may have a conversation about whether the time is right for their children to get their first cellphone.
"Just like there are other academic instructional tools, we feel like it's an instructional tool," said Andre Noble, Imhotep CEO. "The mere presence of a cellphone without actively using it can reduce cognitive capacity and attention," explained Dr. Desmond Upton Patton. When kids finally get one, Patton advises having continuous conversations about cyberbullying, privacy, and their digital footprint, making sure young people know when they should and should not use phones.
