It’s time to shift our collective gaze of accountability outward—not with a one-size-fits-all device ban, but with a renewed investment in digital literacy, ethics, and well-being.
To ban that same phone now because it is also a portal to the rest of the world feels, at best, like an overcorrection, and at worse like an abdication of responsibility.
Students are not the only ones who have come to see devices as a sort of reliable phantom limb. When teachers were forced to shift their classrooms online, many learned to appreciate the ease of a digital-first world. The teacher I worked with this spring told me she hadn’t passed out a single worksheet that required handwriting all year, saving her time in the copy room. All calendars and to-do lists were now on student devices.
The pandemic normalized a terminology of school as either “remote” or “in-person,” dependent on the location of students’ physical bodies. If school is “hybrid,” this logic goes, some bodies are on-site while others are at home. But in education, another kind of “hybrid” has become the norm, with bodies in the classroom—legs twitching, heads nodding—while students and teachers simultaneously converse online.
