Should social media be banned in schools?
Position‹2 of 2

No, social media should not be banned in schools

Those who hold this position argue that schools should not ban social media: that students need to learn to manage platforms they will use all their lives, that bans are unenforceable and costly to a school's authority, and that the platforms also carry learning and support.
