00:00So back to school will be fully in effect after Labor Day weekend and school administrators want to make sure it's a safe year.
00:08Some schools have decided to use a program to help monitor the social media accounts of students.
00:12However, the program monitors these accounts both during school hours and when the students are off campus.
00:19Understandably, students and some parents are upset, deeming the monitoring just a little bit too intrusive and downright snooping.
00:25So is this a slay? In the age of school shootings, cyberbullying and having schools monitor social media platforms helps and could possibly save lives.
00:33This monitoring program serves as an added precaution to school violence or is this shade?
00:38While the program may be beneficial, it goes overboard with monitoring students during non-school hours.
00:43Is this not a violation of the freedom of speech and expression?
00:46All right. On the count of three, slay or shade. One, two, three. Slay, it's late. Oh, we're all on the same page today.
00:52Look at your own. Okay. Well, Timmy.
00:55I think this is great, actually, because with kids, it's bigger than, you know, shootings and stuff.
01:02I think it's more about finding if somebody's depressed or somebody's going through something at home.
01:06That's true.
01:07Things like that where they wouldn't really speak on it, but having the opportunity to see certain things, you can kind of stop it before it happens.
01:13Mm-hmm.
01:14That's one major reason for me. I think it's amazing. But then also, I mean, I was a kid once, too, but there's certain things now that they're so advanced that they shouldn't be talking and they should be conscious of somebody's watching you right now.
01:24Right.
01:25Anyway. So to have that mindset, it'll stop a lot of, you know, premarital, I mean, young kids having sex or whatever it may be. But I think it's just, they're conscious, okay, maybe I should just watch what I'm doing and watch what I'm saying.
01:36Right. Posting those inappropriate pictures.
01:38Exactly. So I think it just kind of, you know, takes away a lot of the nasty things that's happening right now.
01:42Yeah. Tracy?
01:43Uh-huh. I'm really into preventative measures. Like, even if you need to shut a kid up, you can just show them in their biology textbook that the adult brain is not fully developed until you're 26.
01:54Mm-hmm.
01:55And you are 16.
01:56Right.
01:57Or maybe you are just six. And I feel like, all right, fine, you know, kids, they want to have their rebellious stage. They don't want to shed that too early.
02:03Mm-hmm. So it's not, like, key words like, I don't know, penis might stop you or, like, marijuana.
02:10Right.
02:11But there's no experimenting when it comes to bullying, when it comes to being, like, a local terrorist. We're not going to experiment in that direction.
02:17Right.
02:18So give and take, you know?
02:19Mm-hmm. And a lot of school shootings, they often found that they posted something, sent tweets.
02:23Yeah.
02:24Posted pictures, you know, as you mentioned, signs that there was something not right.
02:28Absolutely. And that's what I was going to say is what I agree with both of them.
02:31Mm-hmm. I mean, whenever there's a tragedy, particularly in a school, the first thing people say is how could we have prevented this?
02:36Mm-hmm.
02:37Exactly.
02:38You know, we may not be able to change gun laws anytime soon, which is unfortunate, but we can maybe do this.
02:42Mm-hmm.
02:43So if this is something, if this is a method that they can try that may work.
02:46Right.
02:47I mean, I'm here for it because we've lost our privacy. We put everything on Facebook.
02:50True.
02:51Yeah.
02:52Like, you know, like she's saying, you know, you can't assume that, you have to assume that someone's looking at everything that you're doing.
02:56Mm-hmm.
02:57You can do it anyway.
02:58You have a lot of employers now looking at adults. They're like, what are your social handles, please?
03:01Absolutely.
03:02And thank you.
03:03And if you saved my child's life at school where they should be saved, I'm here for it.
03:06All right.
03:07I support it. All right.
03:08All right.
