Dr. Angela Duckworth

Do you use yonder pouches?

Do you do nothing?

And then we ask you just a few questions about

In your school, what do you see as an educator?

How many kids from 0% to 100% are on their phone during class when they shouldn't be on their phone during class?

The survey is very quick.

What we find in our data, we have over 20,000, I think maybe close to 30,000 teachers have already taken it.

And what we find is that they hardly ever drop out

So once they start it, they, and what we're discovering is that they want to tell us, you know, what is going on because the educators have been left out of the conversation on cell phones.

And if I could give you just a peak, Mel, with the data you're telling us.

Yes.

The stricter the policy, the happier the educator, the stricter the policy, the more on task kids are academically.

And in particular, what I'm finding interesting is the farther the phone physically.

So some schools allow kids to keep them in their pockets or in their backpacks.

Like they might say you're not allowed to use it all day, but you can physically keep it wherever you want, even if it's like directly on your person.

Um,

Half of the schools in our sample are saying, no show.

So keep it wherever you want.

I just don't want to see it.

Don't ask, don't tell.
