@stux@mstdn.social whatever anyone says I'll not let my kid to use phone untill he turn 18+. No matter if it's open source or other big tech companies. I know better than anyone for my kid. Everyone need some restrictions in their life to understand the difference between right and wrong.

@GOKUSHRM @stux That won't help a thing. Your kids will use the school provided device - you won't be able to take it away because they really do have homework they need to do on it. Of course what they will really be doing the moment you turn your back is playing one of the not-approved non-homework things that the school hasn't blocked yet - the school will figure it out in a week, but by then there will be 2 more and each one is going to spread fast between kids in school. I'm a parent, the above is my reality.
