Ah, gotcha. The kids are trying to exploit what they think is a loophole though, whether it actually exists or not. There's been a big ramp up in kids looking to buy iPods from EOE, and asking advice on how to use them on iPod subreddits and forums over the last two years though.
There is a shit ton of forensic evidence that OJ Simpson was, at the very least present at the crime scene when the murder occurred. Which he said he wasn't. The reason he got acquitted was because the arresting officer was racist, and DNA evidence was inadmissible in court due to processing errors
What state are you in? California and Florida both pushed through legislation in 2024. I don't think it's everywhere.
Just seen our exam and cram timetable. For the GCSEs. Our kids don't get study leave, and they have to be in at 7.30 every day for cram sessions, they leave at 5.30 because of after-school cram, they have Saturday cram sessions, and a regular timetable of lessons. These kids are going to be broken.
Also it's creating a rod to beat the education sector with when it creates no difference, and the government need a scapegoat.
It's being legislated because it makes it look like the government is doing what the schools have already done, to make it seem like they're doing something.
Thoughts and prayers for the 'the silence...' guy in these trying times.
They're surely going to back down on this, but the PR disaster this has become won't be forgotten by a lot of movie goers
But also, my school bans smartphones and has done for a few years, and it has made absolutely no difference to any of the things the government is complaining about. Things have remained largely the same except there are no phones on site for students.
They do, but when it's a school imposed ban, they have wiggle room to make sensible accommodations for certain things. The government swinging the ban hammer makes things more obtuse
They'll play the hits and blame minorities and poor people.
How? Why?
Oh fuck. Fuck. I know what they're gonna do. They're gonna do Anthony Stark, and drop in an Easter egg that Tony Stark is actually Anthony Stark.
How has Fast and Furious handled retconning better than the biggest franchise in movie history? It's embarrassing for Disney.
I guess we'll see next May if it actually does what the government claims it will then I guess (it won't)
Also, children that are unfocused because they're fidgeting with their phones, aren't going to magically become focused because they don't have their phones. They'll become unfocused by fidgeting with something else.
Yes. For about a decade. And staff will hate it because the government will push it through, but provide no additional funding or support in enforcement, so the schools will have to fund it themselves, and the school now has to deal with the burden of enforcing it.
The wording of the restrictions is going to be interesting. Schools in parts of the US have been rolling this out over the last couple of years, but it specifically says mobile phones, so the kids have been buying iPods and handheld gaming consoles instead, to get around the ban.
This is going to be so unpopular with students, staff and parents. And it's going to be unenforceable in any meaningful way. Just another out of touch government thinking that it's the kids' faults for issues in education and not the lack of funding and support
Although, I can't lie, I am curious what 'actually Jason Statham blew up Han's car in Tokyo Drift' nonsense they come up with.
If your movie that hasn't come out yet needs critical scenes to be filmed for your 6(?) year old movie for it to make sense, then what you've done there is just make a bad film. If people gotta do homework to enjoy their entertainment, you've fucked it as a movie director.

It is for the common people. Alas the people who wield the power don't care for the opinions of people they think they are better than.
It's actually 18 years old. The re-release of Kamaal the Abstract is 17. Even The Abstract and the Dragon is 12 years old.
Tip's Renaissance album is 17 years old somehow. Oh..........no.

He'll cling on until Labour get obliterated in the elections, and they'll replace him to show that there is a new Labour, and they've got out the bad seeds
I am like 85% certain David Lammy laughs at him too. His shoulders rock like he's stifling a laugh.
Sure, but if you're crowd sourcing science feedback, there's a good chance you're not a scientist yourself, so you're gonna go with the common English description. Same with 'massive', and 'theory'. It's not that big a deal. We knew what he was asking.
