Teenagers do not get enough sleep because they stay up late on the Internet, watch videos and exchange messages with friends. In addition to the detrimental effects on health, gadgets can completely deprive teenagers of a sense of reality.
“I don’t like it when teachers bribe students with goodies, but in this case I’ll break my own rules. I am sure that they need help in this matter, ”the director said.
Parents supported this initiative of the school principal. Adults will follow the honesty of children. Only those who, before the start of the new school year will write a letter to the school principal with a detailed report on the fulfillment of the set conditions will receive a prize.
In order to pay for children the days without gadgets, the director plans to take money from his own pocket. It is noted that while Director Smith has a total of 600 dollars, although the school has about 160 seventh and eighth graders. True, the woman is sure that no more than 50 people will cope with the task.
