#Cellphone #School #News
i went so school late 2000's and im shocked this hasn't been a thing until now lol, kinda explains why students are doing so poorly
Right! Most bLK children can’t even read these days! They read at a 2nd grade level. Can’t even read or comprehend Clifford
This actually has been a thing, from the first day high schoolers had cell phones. It's just that the "thing" has grown more and more as cellphones do more, more "exciting" apps, etc.
@@javiruiz8365Reading scores of Hispanic/ Latino students are just as low.
@Blaze-qe7yg nowadays yup sadly
I'm hispanic grew up before all this bs, it's crazy.
Currently working towards a PhD and it feels lonely at times.
I've seen this in NYC especially in co op city in the BX.
I’m so glad I’m out of school now.
Me too
So am I. Besides, I have three phones now.
"tHeY weRE tEXtiNg iN cLAsS tIMe" ok but were they still learning?!
Im still in highschool and dont even have social media.
Were they still learning? No. I already know your follow up question, "How do you know?". I know because I understand how the human brain works. You are a child, it is the responsibility of adults to make some decisions for you. When you are older or have children of your own, you will understand.
How are they supposed to call 911 when there is a school shooter??
0% chance
Teachers have a phone you know that right and even then there are emergency measures in place. Knowing a school like this with these procedures I’m assuming they have a security guard
They're not. They're supposed to focus on hidding and escaping.
I think it’s cruel to punish everyone. These pouches should only be for frequent offenders. This way, it teaches kids self control instead of being over controlled.
true
There are many jobs that you aren't allowed to have your phone at. Never mind having them in a pouch with you. This is getting them ready for real world stuff.
@@mktay2067those are jobs at least they are getting paid . They should be teach them discipline. Not being forced . It will not bring good results in their later life .
I think its long over due. These brats can't play on their phones all day
None of them need a smartphone during the day. Not 1 of them
Buy your child a flip phone if you’re that worried about needing to contact them during an emergency. These smartphones are making it next to impossible to keep kids engaged in the classroom. Part of the problem is the PARENTS bothering them all day too though 😒😒😒
Generations made it without cellphones. No reason these kids actually even have one.
@@brucecampbell4528I needed one because I went to school in a different town and pay phones were being phased out. I was only allowed to call my parents, and where I worked.
or they are just bad kids?
@@brucecampbell4528everybody survived except those who didn't
That girl said now that our phone b locked up. Do they not learn English in school for black schools?
No thank you. I had a cellphone when I was still in school and I was responsible with it. I don’t need my child not having access to a device in case of an emergency just because it’s locked away. My child will have a device on them at all times, even if that means I take them out of that specific school.
💯 agree
Statistically what do you think are the chances your child is going to be involved in a school shooting? Honestly
@@TYBG85 In case of ANY emergency. I NEVER mentioned anything about a SS. Where did you get that?!
@@draculadd school administration (nurse, teacher, etc) can call you. That's how we've done it since Alexander Graham Bell invented the phone.
If something bad enough happened to your kid they're going to be unable to call you anyway.
And if you need to contact your child in an emergency they will gladly pull them out of class if you call them.
That's how I and everyone else I know growing up handled it and it wasn't an issue.
@@TYBG85 not always the case, but I’m not going to sit here and debate about it either.
So distracted by smart phones, even an adult. Kids have no self control, that’s why they need a supervisor.
karen @LadieKatie
@LadieKatieWhat kind of teachers have you been around? Yikes.
This is basically why I quit my job as a high school teacher. My school had no cell phone policy and administrators discouraged confiscating phones! Class time was a complete waste of everyone's time! I couldn't get kids to pay attention and participate to save my life. And the cheating was out of control. I'm getting angry just thinking about it.
New generation of entitlement and their parents encourage it
You just needed to incorporate dance and rap into your lessons. Just like in the movies! 😂
What do you do now?
@@lefthookouchmcarm4520 I know you're joking, but my boss actually used to tell me stuff like this. "Play music. Play reggaeton. Play stuff the kids like." 😑😑
@@mrrandom1265 retail
Went to school in the 90s. I (including several generations of students before me) survived classes without cellphones. These kids will be fine a few hours without their gadgets
Ya pagers were a thing but..lol nobody needed the kids don't need cell phones it's just a way for parents to not have to raise their kids
You can survive without your phone it’s just that it’s easier to use your phones for like he just said in the video taking pictures of notes.
Schools really be taking serious with phones but not bullying
GREAT idea! We didn't have cell phones when I went to school, and we did just fine.
School shootings are more frequent than ever and if I didn't have my cell to talk to my parents or brother when we went into lockdown idk what I would've done.
@@BeefySpam Grew up? Lock down? LOL
We had "DUCK AND COVER" drills. For ATOMIC BOMBS!
@@punapeterIt’s not a competition.
It wasn't a drill for us though. Doubt you were ever told you had a bomb otw to school. That morning we locked down because there was supposedly an actual shooter. They opened the announcement with "THIS IS NOT A DRILL" Really thought I was texting my parents for the last time.
@@punapeter
Yeah but my job allow me to have our phones lol 😂
Why don’t parents teach their kids about self control?
All the apps they use are addiction machines lol they use push notifications and everything to keep that person lookin at it. Because thats how they make money. Blame the apps and social media.
they can always lock the apps during school hours!
Because the parents don’t have any self-control!
@@gracebrown9475yup
Yeah try spanking a kid or taking the phone away and you end up in jail for abuse @@gracebrown9475
If there’s an emergency, the teachers can open the pouches… People are acting like the phones are on Mars.
Procedure is to stay low to the floor and stay as quiet as possible and what if the teacher is causing the
They keep the pouches outside or in the main office not all the teacher have them
I think if they absolutely must enforce Yondr bagging phones,there should be an unlocking magnet in every classroom for emergencies.
What "emergencies" do you speak of?
As long as the school has tight security to avoid those situations which shall not be named.
THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS!!! a bunch of people in the comments are saying "wE WeNt tO sChOoL iN tHe '90s We DiDnT nEeD PhOnEs" but back in the '90s "situations which shall not be named" were INCREDIBLY rare. People need to realize the kids aren't sending themselves to school with their cellphones, it's the parents making them. Even in my small town, my class of 70, some parents make them bring phones to to school, whether it's for the child's health (my friend with diabetes used his phone as a diabetes monitor) or just plain safety.
they don't want kids recording what their doing in school. In fact they don't want parents knowing.
They're*
Wait a minute they’re only doing this now? My school district did this from day one.
If there's a shooting, who's gonna call 911🤦🏽♂️
A fridge magnet will open the latch, and the pouch is just a thin neoprene and foam layer. Pretty easy to cut open with a standard pen or even house key.
There are still hundreds of phones in any given school. How do you think they called 911 before cell phones in schools?
The .0001 percent chance there's going to be a shooting doesn't justify the hundred percent chance most kids are getting a way shittier education because they're distracted with their phones.
The cost benefit analysis of having your phone in class doesn't support your view at all.
The benefit of having cell phones is way better than relying on a wired phone that may not work all of the time. Not every school has a phone that works when you really need it. Kids know when they shouldn't be on their phone. They just don't care. It's common sense. Why type a paragraph over a simple question? Smh 🙄
@@babycakes5339 Hidding and escaping is far more important than calling your parents. You risk being exposed, baiting more potential victims or encourage the shooter at fleeing or being more agressive. Safety and escape first, call after.
I meant to include that BTW 🤦🏽♂️ you make a valid point.
I grew up without a cellphone when I was in middle school and high school (cell phones weren't a thing back then) and it's not something these kids need while in school. If anything it makes you have more self-control and discipline that you can't just use something that you are addicted to using because that's all it is. Cell phone use is an addiction. It isn't needed, it's just something you want. I want to eat bacon everyday, doesn't mean I should be doing that.
💯
Discipline at an early age makes a huge difference in life
Not even that. I graduated 2018. People used phones to cheat SO much
@@iphone8fan1 😕R U saying that you don't think ☎s are addictive or habit-forming, especially for young kids?
@@iphone8fan1no its addictive when kids are on them all night.
I haven't entered a public school since 2005. It is incredible how dependent kids are on these phones. They should have implemented this over a decade ago.
I'm around your age, and yeah, cell phones were absolutely not allowed when I was in high school in the early 2000s. Then when smart phones came around, there was so much nativity in education about harnessing technology to promote learning. It has been a complete disaster. There's a whole generation of young people that have limited attention spans, stunted social skills and no critical thinking abilities.
We weren't allowed to use our phones in school in Germany. I thought that's how it's done everywhere xD How do you focus on the lessons when you can use your phone?
(I graduated in 2014)
What's weird to me are the pouches. We just had to turn our phones off and keep them in our bags.
Germany is more or less a safe country and doesn't have an epidemic of mass shootings... there have been over 400 in the US already in 2023.
Kids in the US are so undisciplined they can't keep them in bags... 😂
why do we not look into why children prefer cell phones to class work. long before Iphones children were bored out of their minds in school, they just passed notes or daydreamed...I suggest that if schools taught hands on survival skills, children would be very enthusiastically engaged....gardening, wood shop, nature outings, of course, academic subjects too...but cell phone use is more a SYMPTOM than a cause, the cause is ROTE LEARNING... kids were just as bored with the useless memorize and spit it out crap in the 80s as they are today. they just smoked cigarettes in the restroom rather than texting during class. if kids had their hands in soil and on jigsaws hammers and paint brushes, they would not be reaching aimlessly for cell phones. they could then grow up to be artisans and gardeners and homesteaders rather than just mindless pencil pushers and reckless consumers. Iphones actually serve to prepare children for this ugly toxic consumer paradigm.
The u.s. Kids would all sneak them out of their bags and play on them during class all day. I went to school in Germany and in the U.S. american kids are raised with no manners and no discipline by parents that are self entitled karens and Ken's. Americans all feel they have rights over everyone else around them; inwhich means noone has rights. Germans feel right are for everyone and are more respectable to one another. The u.s. is driven by greed and religious fanaticsm. The religious fanaticsm in the u.s. is fior white supremacy, money, power, greed and the torture and abuse of everyone else. The u.s. religious fanatics have turned the u.s. to extreme facism.
It's due to American kids' lack of self control.
If I had to nitpick an issue, it’s that using free apps is better than forcing kids to buy scientific calculators; I remember those things costing like $80
I have a free Texas Instruments Solar one that still works from the 80s.
Try pen and paper like the rest of the world. They might then even be able to add and subtract when they graduate.
Should be a standard across America
Edit: the lady towards the end 😂 "how am I supposed to contact my kids when I need to when they're in school?"
Me: oh idk lady, maybe the same way your parents contacted you when you went to school.......THROUGH THE SCHOOL!!!
Right so when there is a shooting you want parents to be worried sick about their child. How will the kids call the cops and communicate if need be during a shooting or another emergency? Have you thought about that?
@@danielchou5895yeah I have, maybe arm the teachers, lock down the schools get people mental health help instead of catering to them like nothing is wrong and people who don't accept your mental illness as a normally thing are bigots then maybe you won't have to worry about school shootings. That phone won't help you much when someone is running through the school shooting with an AR I think we've seen it happen too many times now and what good did the phone do huh?
@@danielchou5895schools have had emergencies since they’ve been around: a cell phone may allow a student to reach out to their family to say they’re ok and give temporary relief, but 1) it certainly cannot guarantee their continued safety in the event of an emergency and 2) police are not at the mercy of kids with cell phones to know if a school is under attack- _the school_ would also be aware and will call the police (some even have panic buttons similar to banks making an actual ph call unnecessarily).
Either way, in an emergency like that, difficult as it would be, it’s a “wait and pray” situation no matter what - a cell isn’t going to magically transport our kids out of it.
(Also to say “when” and not if is a very skewed way to look at it-hopefully it would not happen but) Either way, what is gained *daily* by students locking their phones away far outweighs what *may not* ever even happen.
@@danielchou5895Look fukkhead school shooting are rare.
There is no need to have a phone in class. Kids can keep it in their bags.
If I ever have children, I would never introduce them to cellphones until they're old enough. My nephew is addicted to it, like a drug.
I am glad to hear this, I hope you mean at LEAST age 16. I see "Zombie" kids daily addicted. Should be child abuse.
@@tedhardulak7698 And I would put a limit on the time they use the computer. I would only allow them to play video games that would make them interested in learning something productive, like space flight simulation games or historical video games.
Despite growing up without cellphones. i dont agree in locking away their cellphones. I think THIS is the real solution.
I didn't allow beep beep ding ding electronic toys in my house. Tools make better toy for kids. They can learn to play as the learn to work. I have a picture of me with my first tool belt on one hip and a six-gun holster on my other hip. TOOLS make better toys that beep beep plastic crap.
@@punapeter I would give my children toys that would make them interested in learning, like rocket ships or dinosaurs.
Phones are important, but it is much more important to pay attention to the teachers
100%, kinda what schools are for
LOL!!!!!!!!!! Looks like we all totally forgot that part. @@punapeter
That's a great idea. Unless it's an emergency. I graduated in '81 and did fine without a phone.
10 years before you all we carried was a dime for emergencies.
If there is an emergency parents can always call the school. That how it was done in the past.
Every classroom has a landline. They will be alright.
My kids carrying a phone because the school can't keep them safe. End of discussion
Well I'll leave them at home while they're at school if there's an emergency that bad the parents can tell the school and the school can come and get the kids kids are there to learn they're not there to text and watch videos@@rensinclair4218
Now just more sleepers instead of using phones in class, lol!!!
Now what happens if too many parents leave too many messages with the main office too many times? Messages about appointments & pickups can add up.
Mmhm
Real simple, administrators talk to the parents who abuse the system. I'm guessing that is what they did when I went to school since there were no cell phones.
In emergency parent call the school front desk
When I was in school, cell phones were banned a million years ago. When did it change?
While I understand parents need for emergency contact with students, parents need to understand that 90% of behavioral issues at school revolves around cellphone usage. Threats. Inappropriate videos. Tikok. Cheating. And lack of engagement. Instructional time lost over cellphone usage. And parents...please stop running to the school to bail your child's cellphone out of cellphone jail. Oftentimes you are at the school within 30 minutes of the phone being taken which means the child violated cellphone usage calling you to come get the phone.
Well said
The schools call the parents right away for something like a cellphone violation
@@stevenroshni1228 I have students who call the parents as soon as you take it. by the time you find classroom coverage to go to the office, the parent is already there to pick up the phone. I don't get that type of response for disrespect, poor grades, and missing class.
@@tararansom2750i don’t see locking the phone up as the answer. What happen to enforcing old fashion rules. A lot of inappropriate teachers have been exposed by cell phones. If the student doesn’t listen, then take the phone. Allow those who are responsible users to have them in case of emergencies. Making sure everybody locks up there phone sounds like a huge waste of time especially if there are ways to get around it. Such as a burner phone being locked up while the real phone is kept in secret. 💡
@esils I teach 135 students in 6 classes. Enforcing cellphone rules from 8-3. Confiscating phones when rules are violated is a daily occurrence and an interruption of the learning process. You got to confiscate the phone, find someone to cover your class, take the phone to the office, and then call the parent. Sometimes the students behavior is egregious and they escalate matters because they argue or fight over phone. Phones are a more of a problem in the classroom than a benefit in case of emergencies. 8-3 every day put your phone up, stop texting, stop listening to music, turn your phone off, don't take calls from your parent or guardian. Every day. Locking the phones up at the start of the day is less stressful on all. And let's not forget the angry parents you deal with when you take the phone. Bullying, inappropriate pictures, inappropriate usage, cheating. Please tell me what harm does it cause to either leave the phone at home or lock it up at the start of the day. When parents tell me they tired of phone calls about a phone, I tell them there is a simple solution. Take the phone. You get calls because the child violates the rules. If the child can't respect the rules, take the phone. But nobody wants to take the phone away.
1:44 I agree with the parents
My friends and family that are teachers say cellphones are one of their biggest headaches. Those are the same pouches used at comedy shows, sounds like a good idea for schools too.
I didn’t know that the pouches were used at shows! 🙌 Need them at the 🎦. Recently I had to get uppity with someone literally talking on their 📱 to make them be respectful and put it away!
I wonder what it would be like at social gatherings
or maybe teachers are the biggest headaches? why do we not look into why children prefer cell phones to class work. long before Iphones children were bored out of their minds in school, they just passed notes or daydreamed...I suggest that if schools taught hands on survival skills, children would be very enthusiastically engaged....gardening, wood shop, nature outings, of course, academic subjects too...but cell phone use is more a SYMPTOM than a cause, the cause is ROTE LEARNING... kids were just as bored with the useless memorize and spit it out crap in the 80s as they are today. they just smoked cigarettes in the restroom rather than texting during class. if kids had their hands in soil and on jigsaws hammers and paint brushes, they would not be reaching aimlessly for cell phones. they could then grow up to be artisans and gardeners and homesteaders rather than just mindless pencil pushers and reckless consumers.

Yup, you even have to lock up adults' phones for a show they paid to enter, only to ignore because the phones are so electrifying!
@@abcrane Right, Tom Sawyer was always getting distracted, even without modern technology. He just would rather go out and play.
I did student teaching in 2007 when I was in my late 40s, but ended up not teaching partly from disgust of how much schools had changed for the worse. I could not believe students were allowed to have their cell phones on in class and their Teacher was constantly having to discipline someone for using it at wrong time disrupting their learning. The kids went ballistic if theirs was taken from them and they could not get back till end of class. I went to school from '68-'80. There were no cell phones and discipline was still allowed in school. I think kids should have cell phones, especially if they walk home for safety reasons, but should be turned off during school. The excuse that a parent might need to reach a child is nonsense. How do you think our parents got hold of us before cell phones? They called the school and left a message. It had to be important ofcourse, but your parent shouldn't be texting if it's not important anyways. Schools are pathetic today, thank goodness I changed my mind about teaching.
The kids down here in Uvalde having access to their phones provided the (useless!) LEOs on scene with vital info about what was going on in the school.
Decades before cells phones, when my kid was in a NM school with an active shooter, a phone would have allowed her to let us know she was ok. It would have saved us nearly 3 hours of terror not knowing if she was alive. Parents now have that line to their kids in an emergency.
You're talking about uvalde, the place where they did nothing for about an hour, even having the important information that you're so reluctantly defending. You're a dunce.
use a keyboard phone, cheaper, can text and call, honestly a good beginner phone for kids learning self control
@@monkeyundies2525 Great idea. With these pouches, though the phone itself is inaccessible altogether. I don't want kids distracted but my child is now nearly 40 and we STILL haven't figured out how to stop people from shooting up the school.
There are people with conditions like Type 1 Diabetes who rely on constant glucose monitoring, and many of them have smartphone apps connected to said monitors. Are those students allowed to keep their phones out of the pouches as necessary medical devices?
Looks like they will have to use a medical monitor not a cell phone to scam the system that they are exempt from the rules. Lol, lol. Maybe their parents can learn how to have a little respect for others too.
@@EB-sh2jri bet you mistake a funeral for a comedy show
@@hypersilly bury the cell phone with them so I can send them text messages.
can yall just accept the fact that technology if advancing and stop saying crap like "they need to learn the old way" we all grew up different, and kids today grew up with phones so we cant help it
Yea I agree it’s very annoying and a lot of older people are just stuck in the past
I don’t agree - yall can’t focus for 5 min
I always had self-control over my phone when i was in school, not once have i took it out during classes. 😅
I find it so funny how so many people can talk about teens with their phones but can't go 30 minutes without their own 😂
And this does not mean everyone
Yes I can confirm long ago pepole actually talked to one another it was a fascinating skill. Now a days that skill is long gone
If you’re so nervous about the welfare of your child buy them a life alert. Bye. These kids with phones are literally doing NONSENSE during the school day. It’s not academic. It’s social media nonsense.
What happens when there's a school shooting? This isn't thought out much
Or if there's some other emergency that happens.
Do cellphones stop bullets? Asking for a dumb friend.
Too bad there isn’t cubbies in each classroom to place them in. With school shootings being an issue, it’s nice to stay connected to your child when something so horrific happens. However, I completely understand why this is an issue of concern during class time. Double edge sword.
It sounds like the parents are having a hard time adjusting just as much as the students. I feel them tho. We survived back then. Now they get to have a piece of the past we miss and loved so much.
Students doing poorly has nothing to do with the phones. Most teachers now aren’t qualified to teach. I grew up in a time that cell phones weren’t prevalent in school . But it’s modern and dangerous times where everyone should have access to their phone. It will be a lot of old one dimensional unintelligent people who will say the kids shouldn’t have it because they didn’t have it in their time, the truth is a lot of kids struggle because of parents like you that they have at home dinosaurs.
I survived high school in the 80s without a phone. If there was an emergency mom's would simply call the school.
it looks like they can still press any outside buttons on the phones so at least have the kids learn that there is an emergency function you can use by pressing the buttons a certain number of times and it should contact authorities and I think also turn on location of the phone. It's used incase of kidnaps or emergency situations where the person can't clearly make a call.... that feature could help put some parents at ease to some extent. I'm pretty sure all smart phones have the feature but may need to be turned on
I wasn’t even allowed to have a hat in class in the 90s.
So if your an American child . You have no property rights!
I understand this. Luckily I went to HS in the early 2000s. Just the beginning of kids having cell phones. The only thing is what about for emergency purposes?
The way the amount of school shootings has increased dramatically its better to have the phones.
If schools are gonna be strict on this they better be strict on weapons.
How much does it help emergency situations though? Teachers should be able to call emergency personnel and while as a parent it would be nice to connect to my child immediately after an issue I would rather them not have the ability for bullying to the level they can with phones
I keep seeing comments about "emergencies", but have yet to see someone describe and "emergency" that a cellphone would solve.
In 2011-2015, if we were caught with a Phone, it was automatic ISS, detention and if you were caught with it on a Friday , you didn’t get it back until Monday.
They didn't meet me. Take my phone I took your car! Take my phone I take their house keys! Constitution does NOT Exclude children!
It's a good thing that nothing horrific or tragic ever happens at schools all over this country that would require the use of a phone to contact police that won't go into a building for some reason or to call their parents one last time. Nope, nothing like that has ever happened. 🙃🙃🙃
Why not just bring a magnet and unlock it
It's good way to make students focus on their education at least while they're in the classroom.
In Korea, 99% of schools already did this back in 2012. They don't even carry the phone. Teachers take their phone into the bag, and give them back when the shool is finished.
But I don't think this is 100% bset solution for students. It's 90% best solution for school.
The real education begins afterschool. They are studying, learning at home.
What they need the most is someone should teach them not to addicted to phone all day. Dicipline by themseleves is more important.
Sounds like the parents job.
If they are asking students to hand over their phones that is a really bad idea because their phone may up getting lost or stolen and that will only increase a student’s anxiety
Also School security needs to work the same way law enforcement security works. IF A STUDENT WANTS TO SUE. THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO SUE. SCHOOLS HAS IDENTIFICATION ON EVERYBODY!
And kids if you’re reading this, IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING!
Most jobs won't allow you to have/ use your cell phone during production so get used to it.
they should add 2 or 3 emergency telephone that directly contact the authorities in case of an emergency
Amazing to me are the parents concerned how they will communicate emergencies if no cell phones….how was it handled BEFORE cell phones? That’s right, parents called school offices to give messages. These parents are just feeding the kid’s addiction to cell phones.
It's great that kids these days are finally paying attention, but what happens in a school shooting situation?
How many more people die because victims can't call for help?
I think its a move in the correct direction...
Glad my school is not doing it but is being more stict on it
Kids under 18 should only be allowed FLIP PHONES that only does Talk & Text, no internet, no social media! No apps!
As they should be! The parents nor the students are responsible enough to handle the cell phone in the class room. I understand the emergency side of it, but it's way too much of a distraction for the students and the parents enable their entitlement, argumentative behavior, and bold disrespect.
I can get a teacher taken away everyone's phone during a test but if a school shooting happens, how will the students be able to access their phone to contact emergency authority or someone close to them I'm just saying this has a huge flaw. Until they can figure out that they shouldn't implement this
Huge flaw indeed...
Let's just face it. We live in a world now where everyone has a cell phone. It's very addictive. I know I do it too. But go to school to learn. You got all day when you get home to play on your phones.
Face it? LOL NO "everyone" doesn't have those sucker's "Can you hear me Now/Personal tracking devices" (RFID chips) YOU paid for.
NO ignorant sheeple did that. App clowns.
Know nothing "Influencers".
I know lots of people that don't have that monthly bill. My land line and internet on it is $43. a month, 24/7 streaming unlimited data.
Suckers buy chargeable phones. LOL
I can't wait for the EMP to seperate the wheat from the chaff.
Yes this is what kids don’t understand

I don't agree. Just don't over do it and you should be fine. I would want my child to have their phone with them in case of an emergency
The kids who are serious about studying and achievement will do just fine, ban or no ban. This starts with good fathering in the home…
Naive. Misogynistic. Just takes a strong masculine man to show to lay down the law and intimidate those kid into knowing who’s boss? Problem is those single mothers. Not peer pressure and the fact that kids rarely speak face to face of phone one another. The break up by text and live on social media.😂
and mothering.... You usually see mom more than dad. We did.
The fathers are on TikTok too in 2023…
There are some concerts that ban phones too.
I applaud this action against cell phones in schools. The reporter was a great example of a dress code as well.
a great idea the world survived without them in public schools before they are a distraction and i’m sure you can be without it for awhile
Yeah when a school shooter come again how would parents know if there kids safe…
@@ayuanabradford3206 Same with the kids getting word out about a shooter. Also, you never know if an emergency pops up and the kid needs to call his parents.
You are a Karen. @@ayuanabradford3206

Any school that doesn't require cell phones to be locked up needs new leadership.
*school shooter enters the school*
*students notice first and reach for pockets to call for help*
*students realize that there phones are locked up in a far away place that they can't get to*
*the teachers still haven't realized that there is a shooter in the school*
*teachers finally discover what's going on after a long delay*
*people are now potentially dead as a result*
*an emergency breaks out in the school*
*the students need to evac. Some can't get out.*
*the trapped students realize they can't get out and reach for their pockets to call for help.*
*the students realize their phones are locked up in a far away place where they can't reach.*
*people either don't realize there are still trapped students in the school or don't know where the student are during an emergency situation.*
*people are now potentially dead as a result*
@@Kingneo0053 I hope you realize that you are making the case for teachers / faculty to be armed. . . and possibly responsible students too.
@@Kingneo0053 Kid graduates high school, gets a cashier job at Krogers. Manager discovers kid lacks the math skills to make change and gets fired.
@@stevetaxpayer6664you forgot to mention the parent failed the child. If proper discipline took place at home, like it should in school, there wouldn’t be a need for these pouches in the first place.
@@Kingneo0053 having a phone doesn't make you much safer in case of school shooter, especially if the armed officers are too terrified to enter the building and save the kids (and that actually happened). there was a case where children begged on the phone for officers to come and rescue them. none came to help and soon after the children waiting for police to come, including those who called for help, were all shot. but if it makes you feel better, you could always let kids bring flip phones that can only call and text.
I feel like this could be easily defeated if you just bring a strong magnet with you
We need this in the Madison City school district like Right Now
Somebody guessed it
Yeah, my teachers didn't allow us to read extraneous stuff in the classroom either.
I know quite a few 40-50+ year old's that would benefit from those pouches.
That would be desirable - if it were not for the spreading pestilence of school shootings. Or are they trying to prevent evidence of officials' failure to intervene from being documented? While depriving kids of the chance to raise the alarm and/or say goodbye to their family?
Dang! I remember when i was in middle school, The school made students that had cell phones put them in their lockers! That is, until the 8th grade when they started letting students keep their phones in their pockets. I think they just, had to keep them turned off.
Seems like a good way for teachers to "touch" students
What about the mass shootings? Kids need to be able to call 911 n parents
Kids have a better chance of being struck by lightening and being involved in a serious car accident. Sounds we just need to lock kids up in cages to keep them safe from everything.
Maybe instead of taking phones away from everyone they teach kids self controll and parents should learn how to set restrctions on their kids phones. If your not teaching them self controll, then you not doing them any favors when they become adults.
LOL ok Karen like that has worked for the last 20 years. LOL
I kinda agree
When I was in middle school one of my teachers would have this phone holder where we had to put our phone there until the end of the class and we could have our phones during class only if there was an emergency
How are the kids suppose to take pictures of notes or record the teachers when they're being inappropriate
...Take PICTURES of NOTES?
🗒 Why not just note THEMSELVES?
Inappropriate HOW?
@@marlonmoncrieffe0728 marlon you may not know but teachers are being inappropriate to children all the time, whether theyre been racist or violent. so many teachers fired thanks to kids having cellphones and recording the teachers. as far as notes, everyone takes pictures of things to remember as they were. also to use the focus on learning and not simply note taking.
That is unfortunate but children and there to learn and not police, @@malcriadamedina5358 .
HOW does note taking distract from the learning process???
In the 90s as a kid, whenever there was an emergency, our parents would call the school or the student with any issues would have their parents called. If they’re so worried, give them a flip phone. My 10 year old nephew is hooked already on his phone. If I had a kid, I would try my best to not allow them to have one until they’re like 16.
I would still find a way to get to my phone😂
I wish kids could utilize phones with education to play games like Kahoot! during class or to lookup questions they might think about during class.
If there is a family emergency you call the office and they will go get your child if warranted just like they did before cell phones.. They don't need their phone. That's a BS reason.
Yep. When I was younger that’s exactly what happened. Call the office and they’ll get to your kid quickly.
100%
Times have changed and rather than wait minutes, you can reach your child within seconds. The "use the office phone" gimmick is garbage.
@@finchborat Well, you can call it garbage or a gimmick but that will be the way to go. This strategy has already shown improved concentration in classrooms and will definitely lead to improved performance in public schools.
The school office desk will always be available to reach the child incase of any emergencies. Kids are there to LEARN not chill and text on their phone which they happen to have incase of any emergencies.
@@finchborat Nothing is so important you need to reach your child that quickly. education is more important.
yeah no the government has no say in where and how i handle my private property
Nah because if someone has a health issue like I do, they have to be able to text their parents
It's more important to have it available when it's needed.
not needed
Focus on your classes, not on your phones students.
easy...place emp emitting magnetometer like machines at the entrances and zap their phones dead😅
I went to school with cell phone now just to contact my parents and I feel distracted by the phone when it is near me
I can see cnn saying oh dats racist 😂
What if there's a shooter. I see they cut off that mother, right when she said it.
I'd open that with a super strong magnet

There are good uses for phones in class but.................
