About this episode

Welch Public Schools in Oklahoma have eliminated Chromebooks to enhance student focus and interaction through traditional teaching methods.

Welch Public Schools in Oklahoma have eliminated Chromebooks to reduce classroom distractions and boost focus. Superintendent Jeremy Ramsey says face-to-face instruction—with books, pens, and paper—is leading to better student attention and interaction. This shift builds on a state-wide “Bell-to-Bell” law banning cell phones during class, which officials claim has already improved behavior and learning.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---     Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify , YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ  | Website   | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon | - Everything KMJ KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
