Nathan Wallis: Calls for phones to be banned in primary schools
A neuroscience educator is backing international calls for phones to be banned from primary schools.
World renowned education expert Pasi Sahlberg say smart phones are ruining young kids by distracting them from schoolwork, physical activity and high quality sleep.
Neuroscience educator Nathan Wallis says it's more about self control than regulation.
"They are apart of our kids lives, they are apart of the future but they don't have to be an attached appendage. Kid's just have a regular time each day where they function without a cellphone."
Nathan Wallis says kids need time away from technology for normal neuro-development.
