'Fortnite' survey shows kids are playing in class. So what can parents do?
December 7, 2018 by Edward C. Baig, Usa Today

If getting the kids and teens in your home to disconnect from "Fortnite" feels like a battle royal, take just a little bit of comfort. Parents, you are not alone.

I find it hard to understand why schools don't insist that phones be turned off and put away in the student's backpack in class.
