8AM: Parenting in the Digital Age and MPS at a Crossroads (Hour 2)

The conversation continues with a deeper dive into parenting in the digital era, as Bailey and Dame discuss the balance between access and accountability. They explore tools like parental control apps and emphasize that phones should serve as a means of safety and communication—not unlimited freedom. Listeners weigh in on boundaries, reinforcing the idea that involvement and guidance are key as kids navigate online spaces. The focus then shifts to Milwaukee Public Schools, where over 200 job cuts highlight ongoing financial strain. Bailey and Dame tackle the difficult reality of declining enrollment and the need for restructuring, debating whether MPS should function more like a business or remain a public service at its core. They close by circling back to responsibility—both in parenting and in civic life—touching on a local political controversy and encouraging listeners to participate in early voting and stay engaged in their community.
