Yes, social media should be banned in schools

Proponents of this position hold that schools should bar students from social media during the school day: that the platforms are designed to capture attention away from teaching, that they carry bullying into the classroom, and that a school may set rules for its own premises.

Supporting arguments · 2

  1. Platforms designed to hold attention cannot share a room with teaching
  2. Bullying that follows a student home starts in a space the school can still control
