I like everything you said. But I'd be quite angry if you took my sons his phone. It's controls his insulin pump. But by all means we can work on a another solution because I hate the obsession with the damn electronics.

Wow, great build Jared! My wife is a teacher as well. I can't agree more with everything you had to say about this topic and I really enjoyed your unapologetic, level headed view. Also, I love seeing the shaper in action! Well done!👍

The state of education is becoming deplorable and there’s numerous reasons as to why: society, woke government, state laws and testing and I feel some of the wrong ppl have been hired and what I mean is finding willing teachers to come in is almost impossible in many areas like mine so substitutes are picked instead as long term subs and unfortunately ieps must be followed yet there’s not enough enforcement or direction given to unprepared staff. I agree there’s too much ideology that caters to parents more than addresses the root issues. What’s devastating is some of our best teachers who teach without bias yet are passionate and full of knowledge and skill, patriotism and teach real life lessons and aren’t afraid to be tough… they’re leaving and I don’t blame them not to mention pay isn’t great either for what teachers and staff are expected to put up with! I love btw your rule for entering into class, I absolutely support your perspective and I think you get it! To put it in the hands of the student, as you’ve done it, sets expectations immediately and reminds them they don’t get the final say and the class, desk, etc don’t belong to them! In fact they need to earn their spot in class and that’s not mean, that’s real life. I agree tech and the addiction to iPads and phones have only exacerbated the issues staff face in getting compliance not to mention their attention. But I think this is a societal issue that’s deep rooted and requires parents to be involved and willing to make efforts in getting control back. Basically school isn’t valued or appreciated like it once was and often teachers are forced into raising these kids rather than educating! Then comes along these occasional new ideas by the state to be kinder, avoid the real issues and avoid getting sued. Our educational system has become weak, tolerant of intolerable things and beat up on teachers rather than put their foot down and get control back. I think because school is required by law and paid for by taxes unlike other countries, society forgets how lucky our Nation is to offer every child regardless disability or needs, regardless financial means, etc. the right to a free education therefore it isn’t appreciated like it should be. Look at other countries where schools are a luxury, they don’t deal with the behaviors or violence teachers face here nor would they tolerate it. I don’t want free education to be taken but something in the way education is viewed has to! But this is also on school districts, admins, principals and staff to not tolerate excuses, ignore violence, etc. like I’ve been seeing worsen in the last few years. Very good discussion and a subject that needs to be discussed more often

Great to have you back Jared! We have talked education in a previous life as my wife is a teacher. She has mentioned many times of the lack of classroom management from her colleagues that are fresh out of college in perhaps their first assignment. You have presented, in this video, a tool that could give any teacher regardless of experience level, another weapon in their arsenal to maintain control. The only certainty in this entire subject is this: if the teacher doesn't control the classroom....the students will. Again, love the new edge on things and great to see you back on the tube.

The state of schools has certainly changed over the years. Back when I was young it was the controversy over Walkman cassette players in high school. One point you nailed for sure is that without the backing of administrators and school boards, teachers are just being put in the middle of a no win situation.

Seriously, the biggest thing we had were sneaking in gum or candy, passing notes in class, and not getting caught with a crib notes to cheat on tests. LOL... Every generation has their slackers, burn-outs, nerds, jocks, geeks, outcasts, and underachievers. However, I can see how the phones can lead to a serious increase in the "underachiever" category. Mediocrity is very acceptable in society and we all hope for more than that for our children. I do feel you're take on things is precise, well thought out and correct. Wood working, life advice, and the want to make our children more accountable and engaged in their own education! You can't be more correct here my friend! Well done!

Way to go Jared. As a father of five my kids grew up knowing the teacher was always right and even if they weren’t they weren’t going to get edified by it. Now my kids are raising their kids and they are stricter than I was.

There’s the Jered I know. Telling it like it is 💪

good job

New name, new direction. Very well put my man. As a teacher you can relate to these modern classroom issues, but all I can remember was trying to sneak gum in, not a phone. Haha - also, one of those big enough to fit an iPad would be good to keep around my house.

Wow. Such a nice storage for the phones! I hope many schools will order it from you! And yea - no phones in the classroom!!! I thought it’s kinda obvious, but I guess i have not seen it all just yet.
