Question

Jonah is an avid visitor to various social networking sites. Both Jonah and his parents have noticed that all of his grades have dropped a letter grade or more. Jonah signs a contract with his parents to reduce his social networking time so that he spends more time studying and socializing with his family. According to the text, which of the following should NOT be placed in the contract? a) limits on the amount of time spent online turning off his mobile phone when he is at home in the evening b) logging his time on the phone and computer to make sure he is meeting his time limits c) being denied all access to the phone and computer for an entire semester or until his grades improve

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Being denied all access to the phone and computer for an entire semester or until his grades improve should not be placed in the contract.

Instead of denying him all access to the phone and computer, his parents can put other measures in place to see that his grades improve. There should be restrictions and limitations on the time he spends on social networks. They can do this by setting screen time limits and setting rules on when it is appropriate to use social networks. Jonah on his own should also be time conscious and know his time limits.

Losing all rights to his phone and computer can trigger stress and anxiety.
