Speaker 9 (07:54):
Drum the frustration out Boston's classic rock Yes, one hundred

Speaker 7 (08:00):
It's the Chuck Nolan Morning Show with Daniel Murr and
Tyler School time getting ready, the bells getting ready to
ring out there, ye late, and we're talking cell phones
here across the country, there's like a teacher led movement
demanding cell phone policies to curb the constant distraction.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Distraction. These kids are on the app.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
Right, So now it's come to the state of Massachusetts.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
It's the Commonwealth, druck.
Speaker 9 (08:24):
She's big on that, and she never says the word
state because it's the common She's right, I gotta say it.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
She's always right, All right, teacher, for now, leave those
kids alone.
Speaker 7 (08:33):
What's going on?
Speaker 6 (08:35):
So Senate President Karen Spilka is proposing an all out
cell phone ban in schools. I believe that there are
maybe eighteen other stities.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
I think I did hear eighteen eighteen.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
States that do have bands on cell phones in school.
But it's a really interesting conundrum because you know, obviously
we have we live in a climate, sadly where kids
have to go through active shooter drills, which is just bananas.
And if there's ever god forbid, a situation like that,
or something goes right at your kid's school, you want
to be able to get in touch with them right away.
So the phone is critical for that. However, it is,
(09:08):
as you mentioned, Chuck, a massive distraction. So I'm really
curious what parents think, what teachers think, Like, you know,
if they were to implement this, how would you feel?
Speaker 7 (09:16):
And I think the way other states have handled this,
it's kind of like sometimes when you go into a
show and they say no cell phones and they give
you the velvet bag and then they walk it away.
They do that at schools.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
I love getting the velvet bag.
Speaker 7 (09:28):
They bag the phones. So your kid would not have
the phone, You wouldn't be able to reach them, they
wouldn't be able to reach you. Yeah, but they're also saying,
you know, with the increased risk of bullying, social media
and all that kind of.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Thing, you can't get away from it.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
Now, you can't get away from it.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
I experienced so much bullying growing up, but like at
least once you went home, unless someone called your house
on a lambline, you kind of had a reprieve for
the rest of the day.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Now, these poor kids, it's.
Speaker 7 (09:54):
Incessant, it is, And I would agree with this, except
for the fact of the times that we are living in.
I don't think you can do that if kids to
the phone.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
Yeah, I don't have kids, but I feel like if
I had kids in school, first, I'd put the fear
of God into them like my mother would be and
be like, you better not take that phone out during class.
But I would want a way to get in touch
with them, because you know, what are the odds that happens.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
At your kid's school.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
But like every week we're hearing about something, there's an incident,
and I can't imagine, you know, even when we have
like the lockdown breaking news stories that come out. You know,
we've had a couple locally within the last few months.
It's like, oh, there's a suspect, they cleared the campus,
they realized nothing was going on. But within that twenty
five minutes forty five minutes hour long period of time,
you're freaking out. You see this news story come up.
(10:41):
You have no way to get in touch with your kid.
You have no idea what's going on. That's terrifying.
Speaker 7 (10:45):
Yeah, And I got to think teachers would be pretty
vigilant about a kid using a phone during a classroom.
I mean, if you chew gummy, get in trouble, you know,
back in the day for a chewing gum in a class.
But I don't know if there's a way that you
can't disable them. You can't just you know, do some
kind of lit like the conclave, you know, they just
cut out the phones. I don't see any way around.
(11:06):
I don't think you can.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
I don't know that you can.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
Yeah, it would have to be a complete sequester basically
all day long. Right, that's just not possible in twenty
twenty phone, I.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Feel like a lot of parents would revolt.
Speaker 9 (11:16):
Is there like a situation in school where so say,
the kids didn't have their phones with them and god forbid,
you know, a shooter comes in. Is there a system
where like the teacher can Is there like a bat
phone they pick up in the in the classroom that
says hey, someone's on campus. Is there a button they
push like, because that's the big thing with kids having
phone is being able to contact people that there's something
(11:37):
going on. Sure, So if they don't have their phones,
is there something the teacher has right away at their fingertips?
Speaker 7 (11:43):
But then that would just be one classroom.
Speaker 9 (11:45):
What about the entire sat say that they should all
have something in every classroom.
Speaker 7 (11:48):
There should be some sort of alarm or whatever. I
don't know what you want to call it.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
I think the question too, is like, if it's like
a phone or something like that, can the teacher get
to it. That's another We'll have to have people weigh in.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
Well, Sherry has something to say about Sherry. What's going on? Sherry? Yes, there,
you are all right? What's happened? What do you think?
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Well, they do have systems in place. They practice drills.
They have what they call phone homes that they keep
in a classroom and the kids drop them in on
their way in, take them on their way out. I'm
a nurse, so they do that in the nurse's office
as well.
Speaker 7 (12:30):
So this is like a voluntary basis or.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
No, it's required. You know, they want everybody focused. There
are a few students that have medical needs that need
to keep their phone with them, especially if they have diabetes.
And I've worked in one school where the parents completely
slipped out and did a petition to san it. But
(12:56):
that was in a city, and I don't think it
it passed. And I work in another town now that's
very affluent and the parents are totally on board with it. So,
you know, I know it's a sensitive topic, but they
have systems in place and they use them.
Speaker 7 (13:16):
All right, Well, thank you, Shery Sherry. We've got Jim here.
Jim has an idea about it. What is it a
signal blocker you're talking about, Jim, Jim, Jim jimbo, Yeah,
there you are. What are you talking about? A signal
blocker for the phones on campus?
Speaker 10 (13:36):
Yeah? Why can't they it's their property. They don't want
signals on. You shut them down, and if the emergency
acquires to be done, you shut the system down. Everybody's
back up and live.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
This is the issue with that though.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
It's such a quick you know, it's not like a
potential active shooter arrives on campus and you're like, hang on,
we're going to reboot this stuff like this, everything happens
so fast.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
Yeah, I don't know if you'd have time for that.
Speaker 6 (14:03):
I don't know that you would. And like how do
you know your kid's not going to connect to the
Extinity Wi Fi hotspot that's in the neighborhood.
Speaker 7 (14:08):
And then there's a cost involved, I'm sure, which you
have to get into.
Speaker 6 (14:11):
The budget exactly, and we barely have budgets for you know, schools.
Speaker 7 (14:15):
Andrew has a couple of teens in Everet High.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
What do you think, Andrew, I'm all for the cell
phone block or the cell phone elimination. I think it
provides a better school environment, in a better learning environment
for the children. And I even worked at a very
high volume, high taste body shop and we weren't allowed
(14:39):
to have cell phones, operating a cell phone during business hours.
And I think for a business owner or a school teacher,
it's the same thing. You want to get the most
you know, production out of whether it be learning or
or work with your employee or child. All right, I'm
(15:02):
all for it.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I'm all for it.
Speaker 7 (15:03):
There you go, Well, thank you, Andrew six seven one

Marty from Harvard who want some help on this. Marty
tell us you.
Speaker 14 (16:00):
I was working at a computer warehouse doing warehousing work,
and I had a workstation that I had to do
my work on, entering orders and putting them into the system.
And we had a security guard there. And the security
guard discovered that there were computer games on the workstation
(16:22):
and he started playing games all the time, and I
would come over and ask him, you know, I need
to use that, and he'd go yeah, yeah, in a while,
and this went on like four times, and I finally
got sick of it.
Speaker 7 (16:32):
I needed to do my work, so I.
Speaker 14 (16:34):
Went to the back of the warehouse and I kicked an.
Speaker 11 (16:36):
Access door, which set off an alarm at his desk. Well,
he's not at his desk about five minutes later the
local police department, and then his boss showed up and
we never saw him again.
Speaker 14 (16:50):
I'm not sure what exactly happened, So am I the
a hale?
Speaker 7 (16:54):
Wow, Marty went rogue? There, that's an interesting one. Kicking
open the door to sell alarm to get him in trouble, yeah,
knowing he wasn't there, and then he got fired. Am
I hearing that right? Yeah? That's where you're hearing, is it?
But he wasn't doing his job right?
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Don't you go with the chain appropriately?
Speaker 7 (17:12):
It's a little extreme. It's a little extreme. Yeah, it's
usually the Yeah, the guy's pissing him off. Who knows
how many times this happened, day after day after day,
and it just reached that boiling point. I can't take
it anymore.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Kicks open the door work.
Speaker 7 (17:27):
But did he ever go to his boss or pull
up the chain of command? Instead?
Speaker 9 (17:31):
He went rogue, smashed the door open, and the cops
showed up and the guy gets whacked.
Speaker 7 (17:37):
That's I think that's a little rough. I have a
feeling Marty planned that out for like two weeks.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
He was sitting on that for a while.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
He had diagrams, He had like pieces of yarn going
between thumb tacks up on the wall, the whole thing.
Speaker 9 (17:50):
It's kind of like the kind of move you'd see
in like a TV show like Breaking bat or something
like some way to get back at somebody.
Speaker 7 (17:56):
So what do you think is Marty the a hole?
Or was he right? Did he just reach his breaking point?

seven w ZLX. Chuck Nolan Morning Show with Danielle, Murr
and Tyler. This morning, we were talking about cell phone
bands in schools the state of mass Commonwealth. I dare
you what is wrong with me?
Speaker 9 (18:34):
Danielle is gonna get mad if we keep saying the
state of Massachusetts.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Say whatever you want. I'm a Commonwealth girl.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
They have brought that up here in our state as well.
Eighteen states right now ban cell phone use of students
during school.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Hours in the classroom.
Speaker 7 (18:46):
In the classroom, we have Katie, who is a teacher.
What do you think about this Katie.
Speaker 10 (18:52):
Hi.
Speaker 13 (18:53):
Okay, So I am a teacher in the Great Commonwealth
of map I've been it takes it for the last
twenty years. And my take on cell phone use is,
you know, I get it as a parent. I think,
you know, everybody wants to be able to get in
touch with their kids when they need to. As a teacher,
I do have access to a telephone in my classroom
(19:15):
that I can dial teletype sources. I also have access
to all the kids' parent contact information as well, and
I do have my own cell phone too, because we
need to use that for you know, various stuff like
two factor authentication to sign into our accounts and stuff
like that. So like if it was a true emergency
and the kids needed to contact with somebody outside of
(19:36):
the school, like I would be able to do that,
assuming that I would you know, still be okay to
do that safely. I could do that for the kids.
But you know the other side of it too is
you know a lot of times when kids do have
access to cell phones and they text their parents from
school that something terrible is going on, a parent's first
instincts is to run to the school and find out
what's happening, and if it's truly like a dangerous situation,
(20:00):
parents do that, then it kind of adds to all
the things that the first responders who are trying to
take care of that situation need to do. Now they
need to handle what's happening in the school, but also
the parents who are coming panics to the building as
well to try and find out what's going on. You know, yeah,
I see both sides of it. And and you know,
we don't allow cell phones to be used in the classrooms,
(20:22):
and we know that the kids all have it on them.
I teach seventh graders. They definitely have it in your
pocket all the time. And the biggest issue that we
see is in terms of cell phone uses in the hallways.
They'll video tape each other, and each sort of unstructured
time like lunch or resets is usually when stuff happens.
And then they take those things and they go home
(20:43):
and they post them all over social media. You know,
we've had kids like videotape fights and then it just
goes viral from there and it whips through the school
like wildfire, and everybody has and everybody can see it
and they're talking about it, and you know, it's it's
a huge problem. So it's not's just in a classroom,
it's it's more outside of the classroom, in those unstructured areas.
Speaker 7 (21:03):
My god, you painted such a great picture of the
whole issue here and all the different aspects of it
that I didn't even think about.
Speaker 13 (21:11):
Yeah, it's complicated.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
So bottom line, do you think it's an overreach to
do this band? It sounds like you guys are doing
a pretty good job of keeping an eye on everything.
Speaker 13 (21:20):
Yeah, I don't know. I know that there are some
school districts that I've heard of in Masks that have
done like those magnetic exclosure bags that they have the
kids put their cell phones in, and those have made
a difference. But again, like the schools have to purchase
them that you know, that costs a lot of money.
And you know, I'm not sure what the what the
right answer is. I know that, you know, our system
seems to be doing okay. And aside from you know,
(21:42):
like what I mentioned about the time in unstructured areas
where the kids will videotape each other doing stupid stuff,
but or in the bathrooms too, like that's their favorite
thing to do. Is videotape each other doing stupid stuff.
Speaker 7 (21:51):
In the bathroom.
Speaker 13 (21:54):
But yeah, I know, like so so I don't know.
I mean, it's a it's a it's a key lying
to toe for sure. And in an age where we
want to have information right at our fingertips all the time,
and it's so convenient to have that, you know, and
and there's so many tools like technology wise, and I
know as a high school in my district that some
of the kids do use their cell phones for that
(22:14):
are really great and helpful and an educational setting. But
you know, it's just it's just social media. It's oh,
it's just terrible.
Speaker 7 (22:23):
It's awful, all right, good stuff. Yeah, thank you, Katie.
We're also getting some talkbacks here.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
I work in a school and you can't do that,
not at all. And we had a cop sink button,
but I kept getting hit by accident, so they took
them off. There's no way to do it safely without
having accidental triggers all the time.
Speaker 7 (22:48):
That's the question.
Speaker 8 (22:49):
Somebody would come up with something like that, it would
be great.
Speaker 7 (22:53):
Yeah, that's the question I.
Speaker 9 (22:53):
Had before, Like, is there like a magic button for
the guy without kids who doesn't know how it works
in schools.
Speaker 7 (22:58):
Is there? And he said, is the cop sink button?
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (23:01):
But too many kids? Yeah, Like it's like a fire alarm.
Kids are hitting it. Yeah. I think they would do
it as a joke. I guess that's not good.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
It's such as so nuanced. There are so many little
contributing factors in this.
Speaker 7 (23:14):
But Katie did such a great explanation. But how many
teachers are like Katie. I mean, she's really connected to
this whole thing. Sure, I think of some of my ancient,
you know, middle school teachers. I don't think a lot
of them are technically savvy. You know what's going on.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
Mister Coffin, my science teacher in high school, if he
had to hit the cops sink button, he would have
been like, you know what, I'm just gonna let you guys.
Speaker 7 (23:38):
Down exactly six seven nine, one hundred point seven. What
do you think? It's the Chucknel Online Show on Boston
Classic Rock seven and Over the Hills and Far Away
on the Free iHeartRadio app. A lot of people checking
in on the subject about taking cell phones out of
(23:58):
the classroom. Way to go, Danielle.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
It's a hot topic, and I don't mean the story
I used to manage twenty years ago before I got
into radio.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
We're gonna get to some of those comments coming up
here and keep comming six one, seven, nine, three one, one
hundred point seven. Also keep that number handy because we
have tickets to give away at eight ten. Oh Joe
Perry Project, the All New Joe Perry Project, Chris Robinson
and the Black Crows on League Vocals. Oh, that's gonna
be a show. We get your tickets coming up the
Boston's Classic Rock one hundred point seven WZLX Boston's Classic
(24:28):
Rock one hundred point seven, dou WZX Chuck Nola Morning
Show with Danielle Murr and Tyler. The question is to
ban or to not ban cell phones in the classroom
in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Speaker 15 (24:39):
The only problem with no cell phones in schools is
so many of the kids' activities after school are things
that they get information for online, all their sports schedules,
and he changes to that. All that stuff's online. So
you ban him entirely from the school. What are the
kids gonna do?
Speaker 6 (24:56):
It's a good point their angle, you know what, I'll
tell you. I always wanted kids. I made peace with
not having them but seeing my friends' sports schedules with
their kids.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
And my god, I'm so awful, so thankful I don't
have them now, especially if your kids into hockey.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Oh, forget about it.
Speaker 7 (25:12):
Oh my god, Scotty, you've got a couple of kids.
What do you think I do?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Yeah, I got two girls, one in middle school, one
element tree. I'm alf with a sun of two teachers,
so I kind of have I'm sort of in both camps.
But at the end of the day, they are busy, absolutely,
and I think it's a balance of like logic and emotion.
Ninety nine percent of the time. I feel like they
don't need their phones in school. They shouldn't have their
phones in school. And you know, yes, if anything happened,
(25:38):
God forbid, active shooter situation, it would be horrible, emotionally horrible, horrible, horrible.
But is my ability to contact one of my daughters
on her phone's going to change anything. I am not
a member of the SWAT team. I am not a
police officer. I'm not a first responder, right I can't,
you know, cowboy up and show up at school and
really make a difference. And in fact, if I call
one of them, if they're trying to hide or run.
I might just be getting in the way. So that's
(26:00):
that's sort of like where I land. I think emotionally,
I get it. You of course want to make sure
your kid is okay. But am I really gonna be
able to impact the situation if God forbid it happens.
Speaker 9 (26:09):
Interesting, This is making me Thank god I don't have kids.
I couldn't put up with the stress.
Speaker 7 (26:13):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
It's a world. It's a world. It's definitely a world.
Right now. That's where I tend to land. I think again,
logic is hard because they're your children and you love
them more than anything on earth. But you know, most
of the time they need to be in school, paying
attention and not you know, not on their phones. The
schedules will come, you know, they get understood their phones
(26:35):
right after school. Great, But again, if that happens, if
the most horrible thing you can imagine happens, I just
don't think you can impact it because you can get
in touch with them.
Speaker 7 (26:45):
All right, Thank you, Scott. I appreciate that.
Speaker 9 (26:48):
I don't know if we're taking volks and who had
the best comment, but I'm voting for Scott's.
Speaker 7 (26:50):
That's pretty good. I like Katie's the teacher too. Katie
was good. Oh god, it's so tough. You had kids.
How'd you do it? Not easy? We'll talk. We get

Well, the Cardinals have returned to the Sistine Chapel for
Day two of the conclave after some black smoke was
released last night on Day one.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
White smoke today could signal a new pope.
Speaker 6 (00:30):
However, we did see the first puff come out around
six am Eastern daylight time.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
It was, of course black smoke. No new pope yet.
Speaker 7 (00:38):
The first puff. I like that, The first puff, the

Federal Reserve held interest rates at four point three percent yesterday,
(01:09):
despite some pressure from President Trump for cuts rising risks
of both inflation and unemployment have left the FED in.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
A pretty tough spot.
Speaker 6 (01:16):
Future rate moves will hinge on weather, inflation or job
losses worse than first since. Speaking of the economy, With
ongoing tariffs affecting prices, some experts are suggesting you get
your holiday shopping started early yes, to avoid higher costs
on items like toys, electronics, and apparel. Retailers may raise prices,
(01:36):
especially on products imported from China.

going to switch to the all Christmas music format right now?

Brenda Sue, get out of here with that nonsense. And
the Karen Reid trial, yesterday, a second expert testified that
Jen McCabe's Google search about hypothermia occurred after John O'Keefe's
remains were found, Contradicting the claim made by the defense,
The expert clarified the search happened at six twenty four am,
not to twenty seven am as argued by the defense.
(02:25):
The testimony included technical details about smartphone data extraction and interpretation. Finally,
police are searching for two suspects who allegedly broke into
Eastex Fabric in Plymouth, vandalizing the business by pouring syrup
and coke on electronics, leaving racial slurs. They also stole
five signed baseballs Red Sox baseballs valued at over one

Speaker 9 (03:31):
I still can't believe it actually happened, because like you
and me and many others that went to bed early
last night, we thought, no problem, they got it. So
let's break down the breakdown. With seven to ten left
in the fourth quarter, this happened Gobbins and the screen
Bridges has it and howl it out. Prisciers straightaway got

Brown the shot for the lead, no tip in hit,
no another mess.
Speaker 7 (04:33):
You can get a quick one right here, runs, It'll
make a move. The jitterbug to the racket. He cut
it to go.
Speaker 12 (04:40):
We got jitterbugged. And then this happens. Tatum right to
the hell and the Celtics the lead.
Speaker 9 (04:51):
So the Seas get the lead. Tatum drove down the lane.
That was an amazing dunk. And then well this happened.
The apocalypse.
Speaker 7 (04:57):
We wanna go. They're not going to use the time out.
Plenty of time here it's Tatum Rodhamson too, Tatum.

Speaker 7 (08:00):
It's the Chuck Nolan Morning Show with Daniel Murr and
Tyler School time getting ready, the bells getting ready to
ring out there, ye late, and we're talking cell phones
here across the country, there's like a teacher led movement
demanding cell phone policies to curb the constant distraction.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Distraction. These kids are on the app.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
Right, So now it's come to the state of Massachusetts.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
It's the Commonwealth, druck.
Speaker 9 (08:24):
She's big on that, and she never says the word
state because it's the common She's right, I gotta say it.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
She's always right, All right, teacher, for now, leave those
kids alone.
Speaker 7 (08:33):
What's going on?
Speaker 6 (08:35):
So Senate President Karen Spilka is proposing an all out
cell phone ban in schools. I believe that there are
maybe eighteen other stities.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
I think I did hear eighteen eighteen.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
States that do have bands on cell phones in school.
But it's a really interesting conundrum because you know, obviously
we have we live in a climate, sadly where kids
have to go through active shooter drills, which is just bananas.
And if there's ever god forbid, a situation like that,
or something goes right at your kid's school, you want
to be able to get in touch with them right away.
So the phone is critical for that. However, it is,
(09:08):
as you mentioned, Chuck, a massive distraction. So I'm really
curious what parents think, what teachers think, Like, you know,
if they were to implement this, how would you feel?
Speaker 7 (09:16):
And I think the way other states have handled this,
it's kind of like sometimes when you go into a
show and they say no cell phones and they give
you the velvet bag and then they walk it away.
They do that at schools.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
I love getting the velvet bag.
Speaker 7 (09:28):
They bag the phones. So your kid would not have
the phone, You wouldn't be able to reach them, they
wouldn't be able to reach you. Yeah, but they're also saying,
you know, with the increased risk of bullying, social media
and all that kind of.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Thing, you can't get away from it.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
Now, you can't get away from it.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
I experienced so much bullying growing up, but like at
least once you went home, unless someone called your house
on a lambline, you kind of had a reprieve for
the rest of the day.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Now, these poor kids, it's.
Speaker 7 (09:54):
Incessant, it is, And I would agree with this, except
for the fact of the times that we are living in.
I don't think you can do that if kids to
the phone.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
Yeah, I don't have kids, but I feel like if
I had kids in school, first, I'd put the fear
of God into them like my mother would be and
be like, you better not take that phone out during class.
But I would want a way to get in touch
with them, because you know, what are the odds that happens.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
At your kid's school.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
But like every week we're hearing about something, there's an incident,
and I can't imagine, you know, even when we have
like the lockdown breaking news stories that come out. You know,
we've had a couple locally within the last few months.
It's like, oh, there's a suspect, they cleared the campus,
they realized nothing was going on. But within that twenty
five minutes forty five minutes hour long period of time,
you're freaking out. You see this news story come up.
(10:41):
You have no way to get in touch with your kid.
You have no idea what's going on. That's terrifying.
Speaker 7 (10:45):
Yeah, And I got to think teachers would be pretty
vigilant about a kid using a phone during a classroom.
I mean, if you chew gummy, get in trouble, you know,
back in the day for a chewing gum in a class.
But I don't know if there's a way that you
can't disable them. You can't just you know, do some
kind of lit like the conclave, you know, they just
cut out the phones. I don't see any way around.
(11:06):
I don't think you can.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
I don't know that you can.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
Yeah, it would have to be a complete sequester basically
all day long. Right, that's just not possible in twenty
twenty phone, I.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Feel like a lot of parents would revolt.
Speaker 9 (11:16):
Is there like a situation in school where so say,
the kids didn't have their phones with them and god forbid,
you know, a shooter comes in. Is there a system
where like the teacher can Is there like a bat
phone they pick up in the in the classroom that
says hey, someone's on campus. Is there a button they
push like, because that's the big thing with kids having
phone is being able to contact people that there's something
(11:37):
going on. Sure, So if they don't have their phones,
is there something the teacher has right away at their fingertips?
Speaker 7 (11:43):
But then that would just be one classroom.
Speaker 9 (11:45):
What about the entire sat say that they should all
have something in every classroom.
Speaker 7 (11:48):
There should be some sort of alarm or whatever. I
don't know what you want to call it.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
I think the question too, is like, if it's like
a phone or something like that, can the teacher get
to it. That's another We'll have to have people weigh in.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
Well, Sherry has something to say about Sherry. What's going on? Sherry? Yes, there,
you are all right? What's happened? What do you think?
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Well, they do have systems in place. They practice drills.
They have what they call phone homes that they keep
in a classroom and the kids drop them in on
their way in, take them on their way out. I'm
a nurse, so they do that in the nurse's office
as well.
Speaker 7 (12:30):
So this is like a voluntary basis or.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
No, it's required. You know, they want everybody focused. There
are a few students that have medical needs that need
to keep their phone with them, especially if they have diabetes.
And I've worked in one school where the parents completely
slipped out and did a petition to san it. But
(12:56):
that was in a city, and I don't think it
it passed. And I work in another town now that's
very affluent and the parents are totally on board with it. So,
you know, I know it's a sensitive topic, but they
have systems in place and they use them.
Speaker 7 (13:16):
All right, Well, thank you, Shery Sherry. We've got Jim here.
Jim has an idea about it. What is it a
signal blocker you're talking about, Jim, Jim, Jim jimbo, Yeah,
there you are. What are you talking about? A signal
blocker for the phones on campus?
Speaker 10 (13:36):
Yeah? Why can't they it's their property. They don't want
signals on. You shut them down, and if the emergency
acquires to be done, you shut the system down. Everybody's
back up and live.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
This is the issue with that though.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
It's such a quick you know, it's not like a
potential active shooter arrives on campus and you're like, hang on,
we're going to reboot this stuff like this, everything happens
so fast.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
Yeah, I don't know if you'd have time for that.
Speaker 6 (14:03):
I don't know that you would. And like how do
you know your kid's not going to connect to the
Extinity Wi Fi hotspot that's in the neighborhood.
Speaker 7 (14:08):
And then there's a cost involved, I'm sure, which you
have to get into.
Speaker 6 (14:11):
The budget exactly, and we barely have budgets for you know, schools.
Speaker 7 (14:15):
Andrew has a couple of teens in Everet High.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
What do you think, Andrew, I'm all for the cell
phone block or the cell phone elimination. I think it
provides a better school environment, in a better learning environment
for the children. And I even worked at a very
high volume, high taste body shop and we weren't allowed
(14:39):
to have cell phones, operating a cell phone during business hours.
And I think for a business owner or a school teacher,
it's the same thing. You want to get the most
you know, production out of whether it be learning or
or work with your employee or child. All right, I'm
(15:02):
all for it.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I'm all for it.
Speaker 7 (15:03):
There you go, Well, thank you, Andrew six seven one

Marty from Harvard who want some help on this. Marty
tell us you.
Speaker 14 (16:00):
I was working at a computer warehouse doing warehousing work,
and I had a workstation that I had to do
my work on, entering orders and putting them into the system.
And we had a security guard there. And the security
guard discovered that there were computer games on the workstation
(16:22):
and he started playing games all the time, and I
would come over and ask him, you know, I need
to use that, and he'd go yeah, yeah, in a while,
and this went on like four times, and I finally
got sick of it.
Speaker 7 (16:32):
I needed to do my work, so I.
Speaker 14 (16:34):
Went to the back of the warehouse and I kicked an.
Speaker 11 (16:36):
Access door, which set off an alarm at his desk. Well,
he's not at his desk about five minutes later the
local police department, and then his boss showed up and
we never saw him again.
Speaker 14 (16:50):
I'm not sure what exactly happened, So am I the
a hale?
Speaker 7 (16:54):
Wow, Marty went rogue? There, that's an interesting one. Kicking
open the door to sell alarm to get him in trouble, yeah,
knowing he wasn't there, and then he got fired. Am
I hearing that right? Yeah? That's where you're hearing, is it?
But he wasn't doing his job right?
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Don't you go with the chain appropriately?
Speaker 7 (17:12):
It's a little extreme. It's a little extreme. Yeah, it's
usually the Yeah, the guy's pissing him off. Who knows
how many times this happened, day after day after day,
and it just reached that boiling point. I can't take
it anymore.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Kicks open the door work.
Speaker 7 (17:27):
But did he ever go to his boss or pull
up the chain of command? Instead?
Speaker 9 (17:31):
He went rogue, smashed the door open, and the cops
showed up and the guy gets whacked.
Speaker 7 (17:37):
That's I think that's a little rough. I have a
feeling Marty planned that out for like two weeks.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
He was sitting on that for a while.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
He had diagrams, He had like pieces of yarn going
between thumb tacks up on the wall, the whole thing.
Speaker 9 (17:50):
It's kind of like the kind of move you'd see
in like a TV show like Breaking bat or something
like some way to get back at somebody.
Speaker 7 (17:56):
So what do you think is Marty the a hole?
Or was he right? Did he just reach his breaking point?

and Tyler. This morning, we were talking about cell phone
bands in schools the state of mass Commonwealth. I dare
you what is wrong with me?
Speaker 9 (18:34):
Danielle is gonna get mad if we keep saying the
state of Massachusetts.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Say whatever you want. I'm a Commonwealth girl.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
They have brought that up here in our state as well.
Eighteen states right now ban cell phone use of students
during school.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Hours in the classroom.
Speaker 7 (18:46):
In the classroom, we have Katie, who is a teacher.
What do you think about this Katie.
Speaker 10 (18:52):
Hi.
Speaker 13 (18:53):
Okay, So I am a teacher in the Great Commonwealth
of map I've been it takes it for the last
twenty years. And my take on cell phone use is,
you know, I get it as a parent. I think,
you know, everybody wants to be able to get in
touch with their kids when they need to. As a teacher,
I do have access to a telephone in my classroom
(19:15):
that I can dial teletype sources. I also have access
to all the kids' parent contact information as well, and
I do have my own cell phone too, because we
need to use that for you know, various stuff like
two factor authentication to sign into our accounts and stuff
like that. So like if it was a true emergency
and the kids needed to contact with somebody outside of
(19:36):
the school, like I would be able to do that,
assuming that I would you know, still be okay to
do that safely. I could do that for the kids.
But you know the other side of it too is
you know a lot of times when kids do have
access to cell phones and they text their parents from
school that something terrible is going on, a parent's first
instincts is to run to the school and find out
what's happening, and if it's truly like a dangerous situation,
(20:00):
parents do that, then it kind of adds to all
the things that the first responders who are trying to
take care of that situation need to do. Now they
need to handle what's happening in the school, but also
the parents who are coming panics to the building as
well to try and find out what's going on. You know, yeah,
I see both sides of it. And and you know,
we don't allow cell phones to be used in the classrooms,
(20:22):
and we know that the kids all have it on them.
I teach seventh graders. They definitely have it in your
pocket all the time. And the biggest issue that we
see is in terms of cell phone uses in the hallways.
They'll video tape each other, and each sort of unstructured
time like lunch or resets is usually when stuff happens.
And then they take those things and they go home
(20:43):
and they post them all over social media. You know,
we've had kids like videotape fights and then it just
goes viral from there and it whips through the school
like wildfire, and everybody has and everybody can see it
and they're talking about it, and you know, it's it's
a huge problem. So it's not's just in a classroom,
it's it's more outside of the classroom, in those unstructured areas.
Speaker 7 (21:03):
My god, you painted such a great picture of the
whole issue here and all the different aspects of it
that I didn't even think about.
Speaker 13 (21:11):
Yeah, it's complicated.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
So bottom line, do you think it's an overreach to
do this band? It sounds like you guys are doing
a pretty good job of keeping an eye on everything.
Speaker 13 (21:20):
Yeah, I don't know. I know that there are some
school districts that I've heard of in Masks that have
done like those magnetic exclosure bags that they have the
kids put their cell phones in, and those have made
a difference. But again, like the schools have to purchase
them that you know, that costs a lot of money.
And you know, I'm not sure what the what the
right answer is. I know that, you know, our system
seems to be doing okay. And aside from you know,
(21:42):
like what I mentioned about the time in unstructured areas
where the kids will videotape each other doing stupid stuff,
but or in the bathrooms too, like that's their favorite
thing to do. Is videotape each other doing stupid stuff.
Speaker 7 (21:51):
In the bathroom.
Speaker 13 (21:54):
But yeah, I know, like so so I don't know.
I mean, it's a it's a it's a key lying
to toe for sure. And in an age where we
want to have information right at our fingertips all the time,
and it's so convenient to have that, you know, and
and there's so many tools like technology wise, and I
know as a high school in my district that some
of the kids do use their cell phones for that
(22:14):
are really great and helpful and an educational setting. But
you know, it's just it's just social media. It's oh,
it's just terrible.
Speaker 7 (22:23):
It's awful, all right, good stuff. Yeah, thank you, Katie.
We're also getting some talkbacks here.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
I work in a school and you can't do that,
not at all. And we had a cop sink button,
but I kept getting hit by accident, so they took
them off. There's no way to do it safely without
having accidental triggers all the time.
Speaker 7 (22:48):
That's the question.
Speaker 8 (22:49):
Somebody would come up with something like that, it would
be great.
Speaker 7 (22:53):
Yeah, that's the question I.
Speaker 9 (22:53):
Had before, Like, is there like a magic button for
the guy without kids who doesn't know how it works
in schools.
Speaker 7 (22:58):
Is there? And he said, is the cop sink button?
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (23:01):
But too many kids? Yeah, Like it's like a fire alarm.
Kids are hitting it. Yeah. I think they would do
it as a joke. I guess that's not good.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
It's such as so nuanced. There are so many little
contributing factors in this.
Speaker 7 (23:14):
But Katie did such a great explanation. But how many
teachers are like Katie. I mean, she's really connected to
this whole thing. Sure, I think of some of my ancient,
you know, middle school teachers. I don't think a lot
of them are technically savvy. You know what's going on.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
Mister Coffin, my science teacher in high school, if he
had to hit the cops sink button, he would have
been like, you know what, I'm just gonna let you guys.
Speaker 7 (23:38):
Down exactly six seven nine, one hundred point seven. What
do you think? It's the Chucknel Online Show on Boston
Classic Rock seven and Over the Hills and Far Away

in on the subject about taking cell phones out of
(23:58):
the classroom. Way to go, Danielle.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
It's a hot topic, and I don't mean the story
I used to manage twenty years ago before I got
into radio.
Speaker 7 (24:05):

Boston's Classic Rock one hundred point seven WZLX Boston's Classic
(24:28):
Rock one hundred point seven, dou WZX Chuck Nola Morning
Show with Danielle Murr and Tyler. The question is to
ban or to not ban cell phones in the classroom
in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Speaker 15 (24:39):
The only problem with no cell phones in schools is
so many of the kids' activities after school are things
that they get information for online, all their sports schedules,
and he changes to that. All that stuff's online. So
you ban him entirely from the school. What are the
kids gonna do?
Speaker 6 (24:56):
It's a good point their angle, you know what, I'll
tell you. I always wanted kids. I made peace with
not having them but seeing my friends' sports schedules with
their kids.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
And my god, I'm so awful, so thankful I don't
have them now, especially if your kids into hockey.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Oh, forget about it.
Speaker 7 (25:12):
Oh my god, Scotty, you've got a couple of kids.
What do you think I do?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Yeah, I got two girls, one in middle school, one
element tree. I'm alf with a sun of two teachers,
so I kind of have I'm sort of in both camps.
But at the end of the day, they are busy, absolutely,
and I think it's a balance of like logic and emotion.
Ninety nine percent of the time. I feel like they
don't need their phones in school. They shouldn't have their
phones in school. And you know, yes, if anything happened,
(25:38):
God forbid, active shooter situation, it would be horrible, emotionally horrible, horrible, horrible.
But is my ability to contact one of my daughters
on her phone's going to change anything. I am not
a member of the SWAT team. I am not a
police officer. I'm not a first responder, right I can't,
you know, cowboy up and show up at school and
really make a difference. And in fact, if I call
one of them, if they're trying to hide or run.
I might just be getting in the way. So that's
(26:00):
that's sort of like where I land. I think emotionally,
I get it. You of course want to make sure
your kid is okay. But am I really gonna be
able to impact the situation if God forbid it happens.
Speaker 9 (26:09):
Interesting, This is making me Thank god I don't have kids.
I couldn't put up with the stress.
Speaker 7 (26:13):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
It's a world. It's a world. It's definitely a world.
Right now. That's where I tend to land. I think again,
logic is hard because they're your children and you love
them more than anything on earth. But you know, most
of the time they need to be in school, paying
attention and not you know, not on their phones. The
schedules will come, you know, they get understood their phones
(26:35):
right after school. Great, But again, if that happens, if
the most horrible thing you can imagine happens, I just
don't think you can impact it because you can get
in touch with them.
Speaker 7 (26:45):
All right, Thank you, Scott. I appreciate that.
Speaker 9 (26:48):
I don't know if we're taking volks and who had
the best comment, but I'm voting for Scott's.
Speaker 7 (26:50):
That's pretty good. I like Katie's the teacher too. Katie
was good. Oh god, it's so tough. You had kids.
How'd you do it? Not easy? We'll talk. We get
