This new school year has been marked by a debate that isn't new, but has gained momentum: the ban on cell phones and other digital devices in the classroom. The Department of Education has taken a decisive step in this direction, arguing that it is necessary to protect children and young people from the obvious risks associated with screen use. However, the measure has polarized the debate: on the one hand, those who defend a total ban as the only guarantee of well-being; on the other, those who believe that schools should fully integrate digital technologies.
