Opinion: Schools are banning the Apple Watch. Is it time to ditch yours at the office?


The same distractions that exist for a student in class also exist for adults in the office. It begs the question of whether you should think about ditching your Apple Watch there as well. — Photo by Corinne Kutz on Unsplash

If you were a middle or high school teacher, the last thing you would want is one more thing to have to fight with for your student’s attention. That’s why most US schools don’t allow students to use their iPhones in class. It’s just too distracting.

That's not just true for students, by the way. If you're trying to build a business, or just get work done, you don't need anything that could distract you. The same goes the people who work with you – keeping your team engaged can be a challenge.
