  1. And I don't get that bullying crap on text messages or anything else today you can pick and choose who you want to hear from Joe's picking on you by messaging then don't let them message you no more it's not that hard you could do that with all of that crap today

  2. My oldest boys got three kids if they're not on their phone then they're on their tablets if they're not on their tablets then they're playing Xbox on the TV. And if they are not on any of these they're sleeping to start the day all over again. I don't see how today's parents allow their kids to do this all day long parents need to find a better way to get the kids being kids again. I always kick my kids out of the house and let them outside they were only on the internet for an hour games on TV an hour an hour and a half majority of the time they were out figuring out something to do. Parents of got to start waking up these are not good babysitters

  3. Why do kids need phones in school today. You got 10-year-old kids carrying a phone to school who do they know they got a call. Back in the seventies you just use the pay phone.

  4. Oh yeah… I remember times when schools were banning calculators … stupid. It's different story blocking certain traffic while kids are in schools – technology allow that

  5. Isn't it obvious? Did you ever have any of these things during your time at school? Go out and quiz kids today on Maths, History even current History and you'll find they know almost nothing.

  6. Trump stated he was clairvoyant now that he could see the future in a public post. Not reported by Fox.

    The 1000s of testimonies of all those Republicans is all public now they gave to the J6 committee.

    Six years of Trump's tax returns he went to the Supreme Court to hide is being made public. Not reported by Fox and it is all national news!

    Fox CENSORS more news than it will ever report!

  7. Yes! Smartphones are not necessary in a classroom! Take this from a retired teacher who had a student in high school who hid his phone in his underpants during a test! You wonder why our students are getting dumber and dumber? It's a no brainer. They can pick up their phones after school.

  8. This is great, there's nothing worse than seeing a toddler with a smart device because parents don't want to be parents. It starts there and only gets worse the older they get and it WILL ruin their lives.

  9. I can see flip phones being that bit of help (school attacks, etc) but smartphones should not be allowed. Back in the day, my kids had pagers because we could be on a late run (we worked EMS) or unexpected out of town run, and we had to let them know whether to go to the neighbors, or other family would pick them up after school. I would only approve for things like that. And flip phones can do texts and calls, but little else.
    It's like when do you allow calculators? The kids had to prove to me they could do the problem in long hand and get the correct answer before I or the teachers would allow them to use a calculator…

  10. Any parent that has a her/she aka female child knows how vulnerable and socially disengaged and destructive smartphones are to young females, especially when they are explicitly seeking for base validation…..
    I have ABSOLUTELY no objection to schools banning smartphones during instruction time—I trust the intention of my children's teachers…

  11. kids lived just fine without phones before cell phones … phones are supposed to be a tool, not a ball and chain of slavery.

  12. HEAVEN OR HELL, YOU CHOOSE!
    Whoever repents of all his sins (turns from sins) and calls on the Name of the LORD, will be saved! He who died on a cross for the sins of the world, rose from the dead on the third day, and by His blood, whoever repents and believes, has full redemption of sins and eternal life!
    Today is the day of your salvation, repent and confess Jesus now as your Lord and be saved, because you broke the law but He paid your fine with His life's blood!

    For those with understanding: Matthew 24:40-41 will take place very soon, this is the sixth seal! This is the generation of the harpazo, rapture, and behold you will witness the trumpet blast that will make the sky recede as a scroll being rolled up! Therefore, be ready and be the five wise virgins, do not be the five foolish virgins! (Parable of the Ten Virgins)

  13. Yes they should. My son has the gabb watch that only has calling and select messages from the watch. You can track them also and there’s no internet

  14. Turn it off and leave it in they pocket. Pretty simple. Parents won’t teach responsibility so school should help.

  15. As a 30 year old millennial I would choose the rest of my life liking other people photos on Instagram on there open accounts over my dad sister and my 66 year old mom I believe the government should give millennials free phones without paying for it with the applications Instagram, YouTube for free
