What are you noticing now that this has gone into effect?
12:23
So what happens in the cafeteria is the kids are sitting together, right? When you have a cellphone, you are single user, you are on your own, and the only thing that matters is what's in front of you in your hands.
12:35
When you now have, um, just humans [laughs] interacting, right, you have groups of kids.
12:42
So it makes sense that the kids are now seeing each other as people, and they are interacting, they are speaking to each other.
12:52
And, um, I just like the idea of that.
12:56
You know, I spend time in the cafeteria also, along with some of my staff, and, uh, they have their games, they have their, you know, they have their disputes sometimes, but this is middle school.
