I will start my post with grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Seriously, seriously GRRRRRRRR.

OK, so this is my question, how do others feel about their GC being glued to their computers/phones ?

I say to put the electronics DOWN and find something else to do but I get the reply that anything other than the electronics is "boring".

I mean these days children can't even be encouraged to play out, I used to play outdoors when I was younger, but these days its unsafe !

They're addictive. Expecting children or teens to independently handle an addiction, any addiction, when adults struggle, is unrealistic.

It's up to the responsible adults to set limits. And to set examples. I'm as guilty as the next person so do my best to leave my phone in my desk. But my workplace even requires I use it as part of my day now. Not helpful to the students in front of me, in my opinion. I see work. They think I'm playing on my phone.
