Fighting the phone addiction scourge
At the heart of the debate is a tug-of-war between schools and families over who should bear primary responsibility for regulating children's mobile device use and setting appropriate boundaries for the digital age. Among schools in Bangkok, Lat Pla Khao Phitthayakhom School director Wilaiwan Anmak said only 10% of families have reported issues relevant to game addiction or spending too much time browsing on the phone. "In these cases, teachers and parents work together to find solutions." She said parents feel that school authority has weight on students' obedient tendency.
