Good question, if you've turned out already you did not grow up with the intense constant social media environment. I haven't seen anyone mention kids filming each other in school with the associated prank culture and social judgements. Remove that from the learning environment.
Texting is not the problem, it's addictive apps and the fact that they are filming and posting each others childhoods. I'm too old to understand how that can be made right.
I actually have hope gen z and gen alpha will have constructive ideas how to moderate these forces while retaining what is beneficial, like connection to friends (texting).
