PCA’s New “Internet Enabled Device” Policy

  • Basically, PCA is going to be a “cell phone free” environment
  • Much of the rationale for this decision is encapsulated in the research presented in Jonathan Haidt’s latest book The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness
    • Haidt writes about four foundational harms from a phone-based childhood:
      • Social deprivation
  • Sleep deprivation
  • Attention fragmentation
  • Addiction
  • Haidt also gives four foundational reforms:
    • No smartphones before high school
  • No social media before age 16
  • Phone-free schools
  • Bring unstructured “play” back for children

    •
