most happy and healthy kids have a unique desire to learn and trying to suppress that is unhealthy

things like screen time, finish your plate, etc

screen time is just a limit on time to learn if the kid is using it for the right purposes which you should teach them to

“finish your plate” I was never told that as a kid and I devour anything that is given to me

    school results are not a valid method of measuring intelligence and wisdom

    “I would be devastated that kids only get knowledge through a phone”

    FORBID the kid NOT have to buy SIXTY DOLLARS worth of books

    “waste their entire life on said phone” waste? how?

    if the kid is using tiktok, he isnt using the device for the reasons he should

    and phones arent the only devices ever

    didnt expect to see “phone bad, book good” on lemmy

      (edit: Your) Expectations do say a lot more about you than they say about me.

      I would suggest you re-read my comment and if you can’t find any reason to reformulate your answers by all means feel free to block me. I won’t mind at all because it’s more than likely that your expectations about my person will not be met. And I would not want for you to be disappointed, obviously.
