The Kerryman (South Kerry Edition)
What the kids said...
Thien:
“It was easy because the weeks go so fast. I was constantly on my devices and I do miss them. I have lego so I made a soccer pitch and I read books.”
Rossa:
“Sports takes up my time so I didn’t have too much trouble with the ban.”
Michéal:
“I used to think about getting up in the morning to play games.”
Joe:
“I have an activity every day so I don’t miss it too much.”
Anna:
“I didn’t change much but now I have a basketball hoop and I play it.”
Tommy:
“My brother is still playing it so that is hard.”
Saoirse:
“I have lots of stuff on but I do think about my devices in my spare time.”
Ethan:
“The hardest part is to stay away when you have nothing to do.”
Agnes:
“I found it good. I concentrate in class more and I do better in tests.”
Sean:
“I am not using my tablet. I don’t miss it. Now I read my kindle and play with the cat.”
Klaudia:
“It was very good because it made me think and stop and play.”
Simone:
“I focused more on books and lego. I was sad when they told me first. I was on the second last level of a game and I didn’t want to stop playing but then I got used to it.”
