"Phone Ban for Better Adults: Aftermath Week 2"

There are benefits to banning tech/cellphones during school hours. And my Aven told me a story that made me happy when she got home earlier this week. The kids at their school are playing games like Uno and Jenga once again and they are having more interactions with one another. They are talking more , strategizing to win games and even creating variations of the game itself as they go along.

While the internet may certainly hold it's own set of experience there are still things that are better left experienced in real life. Aven told me that she wants to buy her own Jenga and Uno so she can have games with her friends. This weekend seems like a good time to buy then.

I salute Notre Dame for doing this phone ban. While not all the kids are adjusting and still secretly play Mobile legends while pretending to poop during breaks there are at least kids who seem to be waking up to the fact that there is more to life than their own phones.
