The Resurgence of Victorian Parenting Styles in Modern Schools
March 10, 2025 - 09:37
Recent headlines suggest a growing consensus among parents and educators regarding the impact of smartphones on children. Each week, more schools are implementing bans on these devices, citing significant improvements in student focus and behavior. Reports highlight the positive changes observed in classrooms that have adopted such measures, with many educators noting a marked increase in engagement and a decrease in distractions.
This trend mirrors the strict parenting styles of the Victorian era, where children were expected to adhere to rigid rules and guidelines. The shift towards limiting smartphone use reflects a desire for a more structured environment, reminiscent of those earlier times. Parents and teachers alike are advocating for a return to these traditional values, emphasizing the importance of face-to-face interactions and the development of social skills that can be hindered by excessive screen time.
As this movement gains momentum, it raises questions about the balance between technology and child development in today's digital age. The ongoing debate continues to shape modern parenting and educational practices.
