I have a friend who is a teacher. This is some part of the way, but as they said, the real problem is "the kids see school as a waiting room in between dopamine hits", "they are constantly agitated and short-tempered". This matches other descriptions I've seen in the news and of withdrawl. For reference, I was at this school when a phone was not a given and we had a land-line for calling home after school. Some part of this transformation can take place in the classroom, but as has been said ad-nauseum, something needs to be done about algorithmic feeds.
I was in a grocery store just a few months ago and a parent had given their (very young) child a tablet which from the audio was obviously playing fight video content and nothing educational. You can't stop something that's forced on you

The easiest thing is stop installing the apps and stop looking at the feeds.

Ah yes. Abstinence as the universal salve.
