Nah gimme a break. If a book is so easy to substitute for a phone, why don't I see crowds of people hanging out all reading their books, showing each other their highlighted passages?
A phone isn't "one object of concentration" it is 1 million objects.
Society is changed by changing society. This is what is means to change society. Collectively decide on a new norm and enforce it.
you are missing the entire point i'm making. the point is that if the student is not participating in education, they are not in that moment being educated. a phone is not a magic box that is inscrutable in its affect on human psychology and behavior. you can't dismiss the reason that a student might want to escape schooling in a given moment just because the medium of choice is now the phone.
