00:00I think that's really sensible because they get so distracted by them.
00:04You see them all over the place flicking and they can't concentrate on one thing.
00:09It's instant news, ooh, that's gone, forgotten.
00:12And kids can't cope with that. They need to concentrate on one thing at a time.
00:18It seems to be detrimental to the child learning
00:21because they're spending too much time doing whatever they're looking at
00:26and whoever they're talking to and not concentrating on really important stuff.
00:32They're going there to learn and learning's supposed to be fun.
00:36If they're not having fun, they're not going to enjoy it
00:38and they're not going to listen in schools.
00:40I struggled in school, you know what I mean?
00:42I'm still waiting to get tested for ADHD and everything,
00:45but if they're not enjoying it in school, they're going to rate it.
00:50Everybody on with mobile phones now,
00:52they're not interested in what's happening in the real world
00:55and that includes learning.
00:57I think it's a good idea to lock them away.
00:59They have the uses, obviously, that the mum and dad can track them
01:03and they can get in touch with people when they need to
01:06and can keep up with social media.
01:08They have to, to a certain extent.
01:10But I think it's sensible to lock them away
01:13so that they can concentrate on what they're at school for, to learn.
01:18I'd say it's a good idea,
01:19but if the kids need to get in touch with the parents at the schools,
01:23do they have to go to the office and the school, then ring the parents?
01:28If there was an emergency,
01:30surely there must be some point of contact within the school.
01:36It's getting a bit heavy, but with all this social media malarkey
01:41that's going on with kids and all this Snapchat stuff,
01:44it's protecting kids,
01:45but the schools are getting a bit too much like a prison.
01:49I wouldn't think that it was that expensive to get some lockers installed.
01:54You know, like they have lockers for the gym stuff, don't they still?
01:57You know, just to have a few little cubicles
01:59and maybe even give the key to the child,
02:02you know, to give them responsibility
02:04that they can only unlock that at certain times.
02:07I wouldn't imagine a few, let's say, some lockers
02:13or a pouch of some kind would be that expensive,
02:19unless it has to have the most famous name around at the time.
02:24I think that it's up to every parent, guardian, aunt, uncle,
02:29whoever's looking after the child
02:31to make sure that they are kept safe
02:34from all of this horridness on social media.
02:37It has its good side,
02:39but there is an awful lot of badness there as well.
02:42I think they could try and do it,
02:44but then the problem with that is
02:46then it just forces it in another direction,
02:50which would be more, let's say,
02:55less beneficial, illegal, call it whatever you want.
02:59Thanks.
