The third statement is a slippery-slope argument:
"If we do not allow screen time, we hurt students, who will end up failing and having to repeat grades."
Why: it asserts an unsupported chain of increasingly severe consequences (no screen time → hurt students → failing → repeating grades) as inevitable or very likely, without evidence for those links.
(The second sentence is more of a dismissive generalization/ad hominem-style claim, and the first is a neutral factual claim.)
