French President authorizes installation of cell phone jammers in primary and secondary schools
After the French European Times reported on December 11 that the brown report by the French Minister of Education on maintaining order in schools and guaranteeing national health services, students in primary and secondary schools will be banned from carry their cell phones to school during the 2018 school year. He said: "We are focusing on the problem and can take different forms at the implementation level." Users may have education and urgent needs, but in principle the phone should be restricted. He added that several colleges have successfully implemented the ban. Specific measures are still pending, but he said cell phone jammer could be used.
Brown stressed that in addition to the framework of school rules and regulations, the prohibition on telephoning is also a "public health message for families" and for children. He warned parents not to let their children touch each other for a long time, especially before the age of seven. This was the promise of Macron's presidential campaign. According to a 2015 Credoc survey, 80% of adolescents in France are equipped with smartphones, against 20% in 2011. The overall situation is that since the fourth year of primary school, many students have had a mobile phone, because children can learn from them. mobile phones. Parents and parents this age think they can use their phones at all times. At the same time, the impact of the cell phone blocker on the learning, thinking and analysis of young people and even on the obstacles is also a concern of the educational community.
The teens in the study took standardized tests to see if they were addicted to the internet and smartphones. Participants with smartphone addiction admitted that internet and smartphone use affects their daily, social, sleep and professional learning skills. These teens also had significantly higher scores for depression, anxiety, insomnia, and impulsivity (results did not show internet addiction).
The good news is that using jammers can help this group of people very well. Laurent Carrilla, spokesperson for the Association of Physicians Specializing in Drug Addiction Disorders, said: “Smartphones are like virtual dolls or lovers, so it hurts. We gave up. It sounds like an addict, and the fear of disconnecting from the phone is a very real emotion. But internationally, “mobile phone addiction” is not yet recognized as a disease. On the contrary, gambling addiction has been recorded as a mental illness.
