But What does the research actually say about the use of mobile phones amongst the generation who are at school? How does it impact learning? How does it impact memory? And how should that inform schools' policy on mobile phones in

schools? So...

I think if I did like a blank piece of paper and I was starting a school from scratch and you can go like, what are the five policies that we're definitely going to do that we think will make the biggest difference? Banning mobile phones would easily be in my top five.

I think the research is now overwhelming.

And you can look at it from a few different angles.

So if you talk about academic grades, so one of the most famous studies in England looked at what happened when schools banned mobile phones and what happens on GCSE grades.

And they found there was a significant bump in GCSE grades.

And I mean, I've even heard of some unis now on the course, like it's open, you can use ChatGPT during your exams because like you said, some of the mobile phones, there's an argument to say if someone's using it in their working life and outside of it we should embrace it we should teach kids how to use it what does the research say about the impact of ai because another thing i saw and again you don't know what's real on the internet but what's around the gray matter in the brain when someone's using ai yeah and i mean i'm not sure if it was legit or not but i mean there's got to be a lot of studies about how it impacts memory and learning and what are you seeing
