and producer Anthony. We've got Houston's best variety of the eighties,
nineties and today. You know, Anthony, we have so many
kids who drive to school with mom and dad or
just mom or dad, and we're just I was just
surprised when we did our nearly impossible question ninety two

(03:56):
minutes a day skit kids spend on.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
Their phone every day at school.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Oh yeah, and I was just I just thought, wait
a minute, I don't remember the rules. My kids are
older now, I don't remember the rules of phones in school.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Are you allowed to have them with you? Do you
put them at the front office? What are the rules?

Speaker 1 (04:15):
And uh so I wanted to just find out if
that's actually true.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
What is phone protocol at school? And we have got
a twelve year old?

Speaker 1 (04:24):
We have got so I don't know what it is
about twelve year olds in Sonny. I meet so many
twelve year olds who just love Sonny.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
It's the great. I really do love it. But I
love this name Asy.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Now, what are the rules for phones in your school district?

Speaker 2 (04:41):
In Humble?

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (04:43):
You're I mean we're not allowed to have them out in.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
Class, like when you're when you're walking to another class,
can you can you go on your phone? No, they
get taken up and then we have to get them
at the end of the day.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Ah, That's what I was wondering about.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Yeah, now, Azy, do you know, like if you have
any high ful friends are do they have those same
rules in Humble?

Speaker 2 (05:03):
I think they do all right.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
So once you're out of school, then what is your
phone behavior?

Speaker 3 (05:09):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (05:10):
No, what is your phone? You're gonna tell us the truth?

Speaker 1 (05:13):
To be glued to that hand ezy? Come on, mom,
what do you do? How do you get her away?
I mean, I know even babies are attracted to a phone, Like.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
You give them a fake phone, they want a real phone.
So what do you do? Mom to kind of.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Get easy to stay away from the phone for a while.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
We play a ton of games at the house.

Speaker 4 (05:39):
But I mean, this kid is so she has so
many apps for learning, like that's honestly of what's on
this phone.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Well that's good. I love that.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Now you mentioned that you're on your way easy to
track tryouts now, yes, ma'am. All right, So do you
have a track app that helps you be a better runner?

Speaker 3 (05:58):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (05:58):
No, we don't. Oh well that's something to look into.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah, other one, the best of luck to you, and
thank you so much for sharing a little bit of
your lives.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Asy.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
I hope you do great in school and more time
with your friends in real life than your friends on
the phone.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
Okay, okay, thank you. Thanks shall loved having you.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
Let's head over to Cyprus and speak with Amy, who
works at the school district up there.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Okay, so what's the deal with kids and their phones.

Speaker 4 (06:24):
Well, a lot of schools have a policy where they're
supposed to be a way during the day, but most
parents would not support a policy where the kids weren't
allowed to have them on them. Parents expect that, and
we have parents at the two where they will get
very angry if we take their kids cell phone.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
That's you know, I was thinking about that for emergency purposes, rightly,
that's what they always.

Speaker 4 (06:43):
Say, emergency purposes. But there's the class the phone in
every classroom. But parents have gotten so used to tracking
their kids or being able to constantly reach them. But
that's what they.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Expect a very much sound like an expert.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
So what what is the So the kids are wrapping
it off in the front office or or how does
it work?

Speaker 4 (07:03):
It? Know, they have it in their pocket or their
backpack and like they're supposed to keep it away, but
usually like if they they'll like go to oh, I
need to go to the bathroom, and they go to
the bathroom and they spend like ten minutes on their Oh.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah, that's where we're getting it in.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
I know.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
It's like competition for the teachers, right.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
Oh. Absolutely, it's very very distracting because especially if the
kids feel it vibrate in their pockets, then they're like, oh,
I have to check it because my parent is texting me.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Sure sure, it's always their mom day.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Now is that just out in Cyprus is or is
that like the school policy in Texas, the.

Speaker 4 (07:36):
School policy in Texas says that schools can take up
pones and charge a ten dollars fee for them, but
the policy kind of changes district to district about how
strictly they right. A lot of schools, elementary schools are
moving to much stricter policies where the kids have to
have their phone in the backpack and they can't have
it with them. Wow, but that's easier at elementary where

(07:57):
they put their backpack in one place.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yea.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
Now, are you a tea or you an administration?

Speaker 4 (08:02):
I'm a kind of in between. I'm a middle management.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Okay, Okay, Well I feel for you, because man, those
phones are just.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Like a magnet.

Speaker 4 (08:11):
It can get pretty bad.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah, well, thanks for Sharon.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
We were curious about that because it was kind of
Anthony doesn't think they spent that number was accurate, only
ninety two minutes a day. I'm thinking, yeah, but it's
still ninety two minutes a day one, you know.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
Yeah, it's an hour and a half out of what
the seven hours that they're at school exactly exactly.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah, thank you for sharing, Amy, And I'm so glad
that you listened to Sonny. We appreciate you.
