So as a parent of a September born child my child will be able to access YouTube educational videos before their GCSEs start. Some of these resources are excellent.
Their best friend (August born) will not be able to access any videos before the GCSEs start unless their parents break the rules.
At A-Level my child will have unlimited access their best friend won’t - a problem for kids who access sports clubs in the evening and want to revise before bed.
Summer borns have an educational disadvantage anyway - will this widen the gap further? Here is a BBC article from a few years ago.

Am I being unreasonable thinking parents who agree with the SM ban will break the rules if it disadvantages their summer born child?
Out of interest for those of you who do support the social media ban are you going to say to your child that they cannot access exam resources on YouTube and X even if they are better than school and BBC resources? Or when it comes to an educational advantage will you find it acceptable to break the rules and allow access?
I disagree with the ban btw so would have no issue if it affected my child.
