The Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education recently voted to
00:04
ban students from using smartphones.
00:06
This move will take the devices out of the hands of tens
00:09
of thousands of students during the school day.
00:13
And honestly, brother,
00:15
I think they need it like some of these kids don't know
00:18
shit, especially now with the chat GP T doing everything.
00:22
It's like, I mean there's some smart,
00:24
smart but I feel like this is kind of like,
00:28
it's, it's like screwing them over and not to sound like
00:31
a boomer. But back in my day,
00:33
I mean, we didn't have smartphones,
00:34
right? I had the little flip phone,
00:37
oh put them away but if you're completely banning them,
00:42
It's probably really, really bad.
00:45
And educators believe that cell phones and a near constant access they
00:48
provide to social media and messaging services are a major if not
00:53
the driving force behind students,
00:55
academic behavior and mental health problems.
00:57
I don't know if I could have gone to high school during
01:00
the social media era.
01:03
It must be really freaking hard right now as adults it fucks
01:07
me over. I get in my head about things.
01:10
I can only imagine when you're developing and you're going to school
01:15
how that messes with you.
01:17
No. Yeah, you're right.
01:18
I mean, there's always like that voice in your head.
01:20
I feel like before when we were still coming up,
01:23
right. These phones weren't around like that,
01:24
like 24 7. Like you had to call your mom if
01:27
you had a, but it's like now it's like,
01:30
constantly, even if you're not on the call,
01:33
you're still interacting with people in lunch time.
01:37
It's like you talk to your friends and like,
01:39
you're conversating, you know,
01:42
like, back in the day and then now it's like kids
01:45
are probably just on their phones,
01:48
it's just different. So,
01:50
you think this cell phone band is a good thing?
01:51
I mean, not to sound like one of those moms.
01:54
Well, I'm not a mom yet but,
01:55
and don't be on your phone.
01:57
Yeah. Especially with,
02:00
That's another topic on its own.
02:02
I feel like that's a gateway drug.
02:05
Yeah, that's a gateway drug,
02:07
ipad. And it's like,
02:09
where are the kids playing outside?
02:11
I remember when I used to see kids outside playing slip and
02:15
slide. Like, now it's like just on the ipad.
02:19
They can do it virtually.
02:24
it's just like, I don't know,
02:26
for sure. It's like,
02:28
you know, it's not allowed if they have to be strict
02:31
Sometimes we need that.
02:32
Right. I think that's what this generation needs a little more
02:40
I don't know. But what do you guys think?
02:42
Are you guys ok with the cell phone ban or should they
02:45
kind of ease up on it?
