“We are going to make sure that when we are in school, we are learning. We are no longer distracted. And I’ve got a friend here, one of my best friends who I want you to get to know, Frankie Focus,” Hochul said. “He doesn’t say a lot, he’s kind of quiet – that’s all right, that’s all right – but he’s very focused on learning in school, focused on the teachers, focused on making friends, and focused on doing a great job as a student.”
Elysha and I had precisely the same thought when we first heard about this:
“This was the idea of people who don’t actually work with children.”
If they’re lucky, Frankie Focus will be ineffective and quickly forgotten.
It’s more likely that Frankie Focus will quickly become a source of ridicule and maybe even hurt their chances of support for their new legislation.
I vote yes on New York’s ban on phones during school hours.
I vote no on stupid Frankie Focus.
