Thank you for pointing out that kids need to socialise!

During my so-called career, I've heard various technomagical inventions and gadgets being touted as the New Thing that's going to solve all our problems, which of course they never do.

They do however create new problems. Smartphones in the classroom, hm?

Correct socialisation for being able to function in a group is key to all education, and more importantly becoming an adult human, mentally speaking.
