   @mangeurdenuage From what I recall of your life story, spending your time working at your parents' business instead of interacting with other kids (and gradually learning to speak the language again) probably contributed. If you were younger when your family returned to France, you probably could have even gained a native accent.
   
   I lived on a military base in Germany for a few years growing up. But because we were mostly on-base with other US families, I barely learned any German ... and more than fifty years later, I don't even remember any of it.

     @wholemilk I've been bullied beyond what's considered normal for just speaking another language than the current official one so my first though is to dismember the said people.
     The second would be contacting the parents, if that doesn't work then the school and if that doesn't work, the third options of hacking of all the devices via the usual bluetooth failure point and have them randomly disturb classes until they get fully banned.

     @mangeurdenuage What would you do if your son/daughter was being bullied at school for not having a phone?

     >he/she will be the "weird" kid w/o one.
     Social normalization of anything is a normal part of life, it usually is organic and is often harmless as it's common group sense that selects it as harmful or not.
     The issue strives when inorganic grouthink and normalization is created, which was possible due to illiteracy in this case. And smartphones are on of the recent inorganic trends that appeared out of thing air due to corporate madness.
     
     What do then ? You can take many examples of inorganic trends like trans kids and go with it until they realize how you abused them later if they didn't die.
     
     In this case for mobile phone computers many solutions exists, one is to not let your kid have any, another could be banning proprietary software/saass, another could be mandatory training or both.
     One thing is for sure is that the madness must stop.

     @mangeurdenuage One issue is, if you don't give your kid a phone, he/she will be the "weird" kid w/o one.

     It be cool if society we all agreed "kid phones" are just feature phones with the ability to text/call.
