No more phones in schools? A school has a new policy on cell phones and some parents are not a fan. Thoughts on the cell phone ban?
Transcript
00:00Methuen school system instituted a new policy and some parents are losing their
00:08S over it. Methuen, as an entire school district, has banned the use of cell
00:17phones for kids. Good job. Calling them addictive and disruptive to learning. So
00:27I'd agree with that. I don't know. Is that the way you feel about it? Yep.
00:31Ban cell phones and implement uniforms. That's what I would do. Wow. Hardo. Well,
00:37because, you know, then everybody. What's the uniform thing? Because everybody's wearing this.
00:41Everybody's wearing the same thing. Nobody's feels like they're, you know, it doesn't turn
00:47into a fashion show. Kids ain't getting clowned because of it. Why should kids have to be made
00:51fun of because they can't afford other clothes? Curtis, listen, why does it get cold in the
00:56wintertime? No, I'm I'm a green. Oh, I thought you was asking. No, no, no. I'm saying I'm ready
01:01to fight with you. No, no, no. I thought you were asking me that question. I'm just I'm a
01:05pacifist. I would just say in general, I never had them growing up. But, you know, I would be all for
01:12it. Yeah, I didn't wear uniforms when I went to school, but I wouldn't. I have no issue with it
01:16in the Twitch chat. And you can watch the show every day on Twitch. Thank you to those of you
01:21who do just go to Twitch and follow W.E.I. Somebody is calling you an old geezer, for your
01:27opinion. It might seem that way, but I just think like it's really about educating the kids right
01:38and getting them to understand what the real world is like when they don't wear uniforms.
01:43Girls wear whatever and boys roll out of bed and throw pajama pants on and Crocs and don't,
01:48you know, and they look you're not going to be able to do that when you get a real job.
01:52It's not about that, though. It's about the fact that kids feel like they need to wear certain
01:57things to school and wearing a uniform takes that out of it. The fact that you can just focus on
02:01school and not about what you're wearing every single day. I wore a uniform my entire life,
02:05basically, till I got to college. And I loved it because it took that aspect out of schooling.
02:10I just don't know why we need to take kids cell phones away instead of just going back to the
02:14time like I had a cell phone when I was in high school and I got disciplined if I had it out.
