My School Banned Phones for the Year. Here's What Happened | High School Teacher Gilbert Schuerch | Screen Less Play More episode 12
Saison 1 · Épisode 12
mardi 17 juin 2025 • Durée 56:57
Gilbert's viral Substack article caught Jonathan Haidt's attention. Haidt said on his own "After Babel" Substack, "Today, we’re sharing one of the most compelling and entertaining essays we’ve read on what happens when a school goes phone-free. The essay is written by Gilbert Schuerch, a veteran high school teacher in Harlem, NYC. He is also the writer of the Substack, Fit To Teach, where he shares stories from inner city public education and muses on the nature of teaching."
Gilbert has some hilarious, poignant, and important stories about how phones have affected the kids at his high school in Harlem, New York. He shares them in a warm and wonderful way with "Screen Less Play More."
Gilbert says of his school's cell phone ban, "The results have been spectacular. Teachers don’t have to fight an impossible battle against tech. Students talk to each other between classes. The cafeteria has the sound of conversation. Teachers cover material faster. Cyberbullying has fallen. When a fight happens, half the school doesn’t immediately run out of the classroom to watch. Mindless doomscrolling happens on their time, not school time. Boys can’t watch porn in the bathroom (or the cafeteria). I don’t have to fight an impossible war against the greatest human behavioral psychologists Silicon Valley has ever employed."

Help! My kids are addicted to screens | Executive function specialist Michael McLeod gives parents a better path | Episode 11
Saison 1 · Épisode 11
mercredi 11 juin 2025 • Durée 56:54
"In all my years of doing this since 2016, I have never worked with a single family that eliminated screens or significantly decreased screens and went on to regret it. Every single one of them saw a brand new child who slept better, ate better, conversed better, socialized better, did better at school," says Michael McLeod, of Grow Now ADHD.
In this episode of "Screen Less Play More," Michael gives AMAZING advice to parents who are trying to navigate, manage, and survive screen time and technology. He has special insight into kids with ADHD.
Michael tells us, "executive functions are the greatest predictor of success for human beings, not IQ. Not athletic ability, not grades, not what college you went to, none of that. It is executive functioning skills that help you to move out of your parents' house, get a house, pay the bills, live independently, get a job, keep a job, make friends, keep friends. That's executive functioning, period. And executive functions are developed and strengthened through relationships and experiences."

Kat Zilka was a high school teacher who realized that her students were in a real mental health crisis. She asked her students to write an essay about their relationship to their phones, and was shocked to read their confessions. “Honestly, if you were to read the essays and insert another substance, like alcohol or drugs into, in place of the phone or in place of social media, it would have been addicts crying for help.”
Kat formed Dis/Connect to help teens cultivate a more healthy relationship with tech and social media. Our Screen Less Play More podcast interview has some fascinating insights.

Screen Less Play More 005: Tech is fueling youth suicide, 6 steps to keep your kids safe - Tessa Stuckey of Look Up
Saison 1 · Épisode 5
jeudi 24 avril 2025 • Durée 01:02:00
In her practice, therapist Tessa Stuckey started recognizing a trend about 6 years ago.
“Kids would come to me with typical life stressors, mom got mad at them, they didn’t empty their dishwasher, or they made a C on a chemistry exam. Typical life stressors. But their go-to answer was always a dark, dark thought, whether that be self-harm or suicidal thinking.”
Tessa started investigating and found that “every single one of them had issues that were rooted back to an overuse of unhealthy screens or social media.”
Check out Tessa Stuckey's excellent book "For the Sake of Our Youth: A Therapist’s Perspective on Raising Your Family in Today’s Culture"
