Blocking social media during school hours? Genius! Let’s teach kids to live in the moment, not just double-tap it.

A good start to reclaim classroom focus, but who decides which notifications get through? Privacy’s a puzzle here.

Finally, putting kids before endless scrolling—because education should come with less TikTok, not more. Schools need safe spaces, not digital distractions.

If kids can’t handle a little Instagram during class, maybe it’s the teaching that needs fixing—not a digital iron curtain.

Balancing safety and freedom is tricky; I hope this doesn’t become the government’s first step to banning Wi-Fi entirely.

Government blocking social media on school grounds? Watch out, next they’ll want to ban the internet itself. Freedom doesn’t clock out at lunch.

Who knew geofencing would be the new teacher’s aide? Sounds like busybody bureaucracy playing Big Brother in our kids’ lives.

No more pretending social media is harmless while teens drown in it. This bill is a firewall for fragile childhoods.

Geofencing social media? Sounds like a digital timeout—but will it be enforced or just another badge of tech busywork?
