You mean these new people aren't actually supposed to provide new stocks of players and all this is for nothing?

My apologies dudes, I actually went to look up the policy I'm bloviating about instead of interpreting people's interpretations. Bad form I know. https://www.national.org.nz/cell_phone_use_at_school National will ban cell phone use at school Schools will be able to decide exactly how they enforce it...

I don't agree with everything Damien Grant writes either, but in a healthy democracy, I believe that it's important that all views are heard. I also have an aversion to his 'colour commentary' when he talks about the relationship between the state and our country's most vulnerable population, but I...

I have no idea how you have come to the conclusion that that is in any way relevant to the discussion about removing mobile phones from classrooms. Ah. My mistake. I had thought it was about removing them from schools. Sorry about that. It is indeed, or at least from the classrooms. You'll need to ...

I do indeed, but they were never used for local communication. :roll: Oh, the party line. Right. Which party line would that be? You know, two short rings, or a long and a short, or whatever it was. I've forgotten the actual code format used. Just more of the telecoms that made us soft.

It's really not. Sure Abstract In five preregistered studies, we assess people’s tendency to believe “kids these days” are deficient relative to those of previous generations. Across three traits, American adults (N = 3458; Mage = 33 to 51 years) believe today’s youth are in decline; however, these...

I'm not arguing they shouldn't be policed, and / or have controls in place, including not allowing them to be on while at school. But I don't think that alone will stop online bullying, or the wider social issues that we now blame on social media etc, that in many cases are extensions of the issues...

Most of the social media stuff will hit outside school hours anyways .

Surely this is more about distraction / addiction and antisocial impact during school hours .

Yeah nah. It's about this...

Big shoutout to Kevin Rouet, who might be the most underrated coach in rugby at the moment.

They were fast at the breakdown all right.

At least they have another game in 6 days. I hope to see more cohesion.

Congratulations Canada. Well deserved win. Serves Bunting and his clowns right this loss. They're going to be destroyed at Twickenham. Whom are his clowns and what did they do? Curious here.

Staying a YC? A bit surprised by that.

I just watched the replay. Baffled again.

Oh well.

I'm not going to knock the Ferns' penalty count, I haven't a clue what's going on.

I think the ability for a child to contact their guardian is worth some effort. Kept in a bag is fine by me.

No idea why Interesting. We just had our ...

In short, the larger and more complex a project is, the more scrutiny it deserves. There just needs to be a mechanism in place to ensure that scrutiny is appropriate and efficient.
