  • School to Prison & Innovative Ideas to Curb the Flow

    School to Prison & Innovative Ideas to Curb the Flow
    Oct 16 2024
    Join Robert Davis as he shares his knowledge, experience and insights from his background and experience working as an educator and correctional counselor with the California Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation. Over the span of his twenty-year career, Robert witnessed first-hand the workings of the Prison Industrial Complex and how as taxpayers the public would be shocked as to how their tax dollars are being spent. What stood out to Robert was the sheer number of individuals locked up that grew up in our early education system as promising young people only to be criminalized at an early age and became statistics of the criminal justice system. Usually, these young people experience time in the Juvenile Justice system then graduate on to become adult prison numbers with little hope of literally no escaping the system. Black, Indigenous, and students of color are disproportionately affected by the system. These students are more likely to face suspension, expulsion and arrest than their white peers for similar behaviors. Studies show that Black students are about 3.5 times more likely to be suspended than white students, and they are more likely to face arrest at school. Once in the system, they may face significant barriers to reintegrating into school and society, increasing the likelihood of recidivism and continued involvement with the justice system as adults. Students who are subject to harsh disciplinary actions often experience negative health outcomes. The stigmatization they face can lead to anxiety, depression, and trauma, further compounding their disengagement from school to society. The road to prison via the educational system is a systemic issue that disproportionately impacts students of color, low-income students, and those with disabilities. It criminalizes behavior that could be better addressed through supportive and restorative interventions, pushing vulnerable youth out of the education system and into the criminal justice system. Joining Robert on today's show is Jamal Fort, CEO of Flowlab Inc. CEO of Flowtech Educational Technologies, Inc. Jamal will be discussing a new and innovative approach to integrating cutting-edge technologies such as Virtual Reality, Augumented Reality and neurofeedback into our programs, where we can address the underlying psychological and cognitive issues that contribute to criminal behavior. The advent of these advanced technologies has opened new avenues for innovative rehabilitation methods. These technologies have been tested and proven effective, offering more immersive, engaging, and personalized therapeutic experiences. As in other industries, the model moving forward is clear: innovate or perish. These innovations must be implemented and structured for our evolution in future automation, ensuring sustainable and effective rehabilitation practices.

  • Encore: The Consequences of Technology and Social Media on our Youth

    Encore: The Consequences of Technology and Social Media on our Youth
    Oct 9 2024
    The impact of social media and technology on school-age children can be both positive and negative, but there are several dangerous consequences that have been observed in recent years. Here are some of the most prominent risks: 1. Mental Health Issues Increased Anxiety and Depression: Constant exposure to social media can lead to feelings of inadequacy and insecurity. Children may compare themselves to others, leading to anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Cyberbullying: Social media platforms are a common space for cyberbullying, which can be more harmful than in-person bullying because it’s relentless and pervasive, often leaving kids feeling isolated and helpless. FOMO (Fear of Missing Out): Constant updates on social media can create anxiety in children who feel they are missing out on experiences, contributing to feelings of exclusion and loneliness. 2. Addiction and Time Management Issues Screen Time Addiction: Excessive use of smartphones, gaming, or social media can lead to screen addiction, negatively impacting attention span, productivity, and even sleep. Disrupted Sleep Patterns: The blue light emitted from screens can disrupt melatonin production, making it harder for kids to sleep, which is essential for their development and learning. 3. Academic Decline Decreased Attention Span: The constant influx of information from social media and apps can decrease children's attention span, making it harder for them to focus on tasks such as reading, homework, and studying. Reduced Academic Performance: Addiction to social media and technology can detract from schoolwork, leading to poor academic outcomes and difficulty managing responsibilities. 4. Social Skills and Communication Issues: Impaired Social Interaction: Over-reliance on virtual communication can hinder children's ability to develop essential face-to-face communication and interpersonal skills, such as reading body language, empathy, and active listening. Isolation: While social media is designed to connect, it can paradoxically make children feel more isolated. Kids who spend too much time online may have fewer in-person social interactions, which are critical for social development. 5. Body Image Issues Unrealistic Beauty Standards: Social media platforms are filled with images that often promote unrealistic and edited standards of beauty, leading to body dissatisfaction, especially among adolescents. This can contribute to eating disorders and poor self-esteem. 6. Exposure to Inappropriate Content Mature Content: Children can be exposed to age-inappropriate material such as violence, pornography, and harmful ideologies, especially on unregulated or less secure platforms. Online Predators: Some platforms are targeted by predators who exploit children's lack of maturity and understanding of the risks involved in interacting with strangers online. While technology & social media can have educational & developmental benefits, moderation & guidance are recommended.
