Et tu, BBC?

Just heard Fi Glover on Times Radio being immensely dense about a study saying banning phones in school doesn’t materially affect educational benefits. However much the lead researcher patiently explained the point was that school use made little difference because most use is out of school, Glover was determined that the take away was that phone use overall makes no difference.
I double checked the story quickly on the BBC (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy8plvqv60lo) and it seems this is the obtuse line across the media more widely.
I’ll dig into more in my newsletter this week and explain how these things happen.
