Parents worry about distractions and safety risks. People’s Daily suggests managing smartwatches by category.
Hua, did you see the news? Lots of parents are debating whether kids should wear phone watches to school.
I did. People’s Daily wrote that it’s not as simple as ‘ban’ or ‘allow’—they recommend categorized management.
Some watches have too many features—video apps, games—kids play secretly in class and it really affects learning.
But some parents say the watch can ensure safety at critical moments. For example, if a child goes missing, location and calls can help find them.
So the key issue isn’t the watch itself, but how it’s managed. If schools take a one-size-fits-all approach, it only heightens parents’ anxiety.
Yes. Some schools do well: students hand in the watches to the teacher after arrival and pick them up after school.
Manufacturers should be responsible too—stop piling on entertainment features and return to the original purpose: a safety tool.
This also reminds us: families, schools, and society need to work together—keep kids safe and help them focus on learning.
