ALLOW PHONES BACK IN SCHOOL (RCBOE)
ALLOW PHONES BACK IN SCHOOL! IT'S NOT RIGHT AND NOT FAIR!
Why is this important?
Schools should allow phones because they can be used as powerful tools for learning, giving students quick access to online resources and information. Phones help students stay organized with apps for calendars, reminders, and notes, which can improve their academic performance. In emergencies, having a phone allows students to contact parents or guardians immediately, ensuring their safety. Phones also prepare students for the future by teaching them how to use technology responsibly. With clear rules, phones can be a valuable asset in the classroom rather than just a distraction. Just because growing up y’all didn’t have no technology to help y’all doesn’t mean we have to endure it, too. It’s 2024 , it’s a new day and age. You might not like it but it’s time for change. Technology is a big part of our everyday lives!
