Teachers are reporting more engagement in the classroom, more socialization at lunch, and less late assignments as a result of the new rule.

Revved-up Rumblings and Fit Foretelling! Tune in with Pags for a hysterical breakdown of today's “How Not to Drive” comedy — because let's face it, American drivers are a national spectacle. Then, hold on tight: are cell phones finally being banned in classrooms? Pags dives into that debate head-first. But don't look away — Pags also spotted RFK Jr. and Pete Hegseth going rep for rep in an unforgettable Pentagon push-up/pull-up showdown that might just be the start of Make America Healthy Again taking off. Kay Hill joins Pags with the inside scoop: she grew up in Europe, now lives here in the States, and delivers her unique perspective on why the Presidential Fitness Test is back — and how Europe views Trump's explosive summit with Zelenskyy and NATO.

Imagine you’re planning for a vacation, and you see a little icon below a very idyllic, nice looking resort. And it says “No wifi”. Is that a plus, or a negative? Many now see this as a benefit, believe it or not - exclusively cutting out devices during their “digital detox retreats”. Luxury resorts are even offering “digital detox concierges” who take your devices at check-in. Yes, someone physically removes your phone! Is this something you’d try?

This episode is brought to you by Snorkl. As educators, we want students to express and explain their thinking. We want to hear their thoughts on a science question, a story, or a math problem. But listening to each student one-on-one is nearly impossible. Snorkl lets students record their thinking with a virtual whiteboard and uses AI for immediate, personalized feedback. This works for any question at any grade level. Teachers get an immediate summary of student progress. Check out Snorkl.app for an incredible deal for schools to pilot it this year. In this episode, I catch up with my good friend, Todd Bloomer. Todd is a principal at a high school in San Antonio and as of August 9th, 2024… A published author. We discuss his new book The Blueprint: Survive and Thrive as a School Administrator. He tells us his inspiration for the book and how it came to be. This school year, he has made his campus a “No-Phone Zone” so I pick his brain as to why he chose to do this, how they are enforcing this new policy, and what the results have shown. This episode was recorded at Texas Sugar Daddies in San Antonio, Texas. They are just two dads, best friends, and foodies who decided to join forces to do something different. Their cafe has top notch food for dine-in or pick up. Their desserts are top notch and the charcuterie is one of my favorites. They support the local community in San Antonio so reach out to them for your food and catering needs! Make sure you share this episode with a friends and colleagues and as always, Buen Provecho!

For many of us old-timers, the idea of students on cell phones in the middle of class is nearly unthinkable: PAY ATTENTION, ADDISON! It's not surprising that when a school recently tried the idea of banning cell phones from class it caused an uproar. It IS surprising that the protests didn't come from the students… it came from their PARENTS. Scott Ott has the details.

We take a bunch of calls without screening them to answer questions or talk about something random!

This hour we finally get to talk with Klein's crazy uncle, think about going on a vacay with no phones and give ya some takeaways 

Try watching sports without your phone, it's liberating.

It pays to pay attention. Earlier this month, Michigan seventh grader Dillon Reeves saved the lives of 60 students when he drove his school bus to safety. When the driver of the bus lost consciousness, most of the other students didn't notice because they were on their phones. Dillon doesn't have a phone, so he noticed when the bus started drifting and jumped into action.   The pressure to get smartphones for kids and let them access social media apps is incredible today. Almost 3 in 4 American youth own smartphones by age 12, and 84% of teens 13 to 18 use social media. Today's teens average about 9 hours a day on screens.   The dangers of digital distraction are well documented: body image issues, sleep deprivation, pornography addiction, even suicidality. In the case of the Michigan school bus, kids would've lost their lives if Dillon had been distracted.  To quote Dillon's dad, let's hope that his son's heroics will serve as “a change-the-world kind of lesson.”
