IтАЩm not sure fighting fire with fire will work in this case. The popular culture must relegate social media and the constant need for acknowledgment by anonymous peers to the same relevance kids always view what their parents generation does. IOW, our kids need to associate constant attention to phones and social media like alcoholism, racism, domestic violence...you know; тАЬsomething old people doтАЭ
Until that shift in perception happens (and it will) we do what parents have always done: тАЬJust say noтАЭ with obvious mixed results. ЁЯШВ

Yes. Academia. Defund, dismantle and radically re-imagine it--now.
I wholeheartedly agree.
