1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: And it's been three months since the social media apocalypse.

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 2: For some, yes, not for many, from what I've heard.

3
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: Not as many as they were hoping.

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: We want to know how the social media ban is

5
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 2: going in your house. We'd love to hear from teachers

6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 2: if they know how the you know, reaction has been

7
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 2: in their classroom. You can speak to us anonymously.

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: So in our house, for instance, we have well, my

9
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: daughter is on her way to eighteen, so it doesn't

10
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 1: affect her, but my son is nearly fourteen, and so

11
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: just recently, about a week and a half ago, we

12
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: got Wi Fi extenders put in the house because you know,

13
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: the signal wasn't great up the other end of the house,

14
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 1: and it had been in for a couple of days,

15
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 1: up and running. And I said to him, so, mate's,

16
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: how's the Wi Fi extender going. Has it improved the

17
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: reception in your room? And he said yeah, he said, Dad,

18
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: he said, my TikTok's never been fucked.

19
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: Okay, Oh that tells us how it's going in your place.

20
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: So it's like, oh, okay, so he's got around it,

21
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: and he's got around it. Yeah, he's got around it.

22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: And as a parent, it's it's hard. I mean, you

23
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: try to do everything you can to stay on top

24
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: of it, but there's only so much you can do.

25
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: The kids are smarter than us. He's nearly fourteen and

26
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: he knows more about tech than I do.

27
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: Well, I know nothing, So I mean.

28
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: I had to get a bloke to come in to

29
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: set up the Wi Fi extend to reach.

30
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: Geeks to you or something to you? Yes to you?

31
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 2: Will it hurt when the social media band kicked in

32
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: for the six fifteen year olds?

33
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: Did it hurt enough?

34
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 2: But only for a minute. It would seem we are

35
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 2: talking about that today because it has been three months,

36
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: plenty of time for it to bed in now. But

37
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 2: those sneaky looks speaking, it sounds like they're finding their

38
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: way around it for the most part. So Peter from

39
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: Melville is on the line. Good morning, morning, Peter, good morning.

40
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 2: Now you have kids that fall into this age bracket.

41
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 2: What has been the experience?

42
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 3: Okay, I have a fourteen year old who already had

43
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 3: a phone for two years, so I was looking forward

44
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 3: to the social band to support us cutting off napchat

45
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 3: and unfortunately it was a joke. I think he was

46
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 3: asked to verify his age he said it was sixteen,

47
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 3: and they required a screenshot of his day and it

48
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 3: was approved.

49
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and see, not all fourteen year olds are the same,

50
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: are they. Some of them will pass a sixteen year

51
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: olds quite easily.

52
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 3: Very easily. I mean he's got a bit of a

53
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 3: baby face, but he's tall. And yeah, my twelve year

54
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 3: old wasn't so lucky. But the fourteen year old managed

55
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 3: to fall through the hoop.

56
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: And the problem is, Peter, here is the fact is

57
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: these kids are smarter than we are at getting around

58
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: this stuff and getting on It's hard for.

59
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 3: Us to stop them one hundred percent. And I do

60
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 3: have a parent control, but I can't control they do

61
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 3: find a way around it. And also I can't control

62
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 3: what he sees on his mate phone exactly what they

63
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 3: met out of the house. So it's a bit of

64
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 3: a joke.

65
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 2: It is, And it is a bit mickey mouse with

66
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: its system in terms of It's like when you're watching

67
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 2: something on telling and it says a U eighteen and

68
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 2: it's sure, I'm just going to hit yes. I mean,

69
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: what are you gonna argue with me? And some and

70
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 2: some fourteen year olds of twenty four? So it is

71
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 2: a very strange system. But I mean, what how else

72
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: do you do it? I don't know. Well, how's how's

73
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: has he said? How his friends have gone? They are?

74
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 2: They pretty much all still on.

75
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 3: There was only two that were denied, probably out of

76
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 3: a group of thirteen boys.

77
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 2: All right, I mean I don't they're just on his Yeah,

78
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: Like it's not like they're staying away.

79
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 3: Peter.

80
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: We can only do our best. We we can only try.

81
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 3: Well, that's right, Rush, we can only try. But they're

82
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 3: smarter than.

83
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 2: Us, I know.

84
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,239
Speaker 1: And I'm okay to admit that.

85
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 3: And it's sad because they're growing up too quickly.

86
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 2: True. Hell, after three months, is the social media ban

87
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 2: going in your house?

88
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: Is it going? Are you having more success than Peter

89
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: and myself and Michelle?

90
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: Or has it been as useless as some euphemism for

91
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 2: your house?

92
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: And you know what, most of them are rude.

93
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 2: We've really we've been talking about how it's been going

94
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 2: in your house this morning. There hasn't been a single

95
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 2: success story where the kids haven't found a way to

96
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: get around it. Terry on the text says it's as

97
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 2: useless as the g in Lasagna.
