No Yondr Pouches at Berkner
Dear Principal Smock,
It is unfortunate that we have to to meet you in this way, upon your recent arrival to Berkner. It’s come to our attention, that you have requested for Yondr pouches, as well as RHS & JPHS. Although we respect you as a new higher authority at Berkner, we feel that you made a poor first impression on us. As students, we also feel that it is unfair for you to request Yondr pouches before exploring Berkner, learning about our RAMILY, and evaluating our pros and cons. Therefore, we request the revocation or at least compromise of Yondr pouches. Generally, we think Yondr pouches should be used to punish students who disrespect higher authority and direct orders. By doing this, you can give kids the opportunity to develop self-control, which will serve them well in the future. We hope this petition will help you reconsider your decision.
P.S. - A compromise we are willing to make is that each student will get 2 strikes each quarter for phone usage. The first time, they get a warning but the second time, they receive the consequence; they will put their phone is a Yondr pouch for the rest of the quarter or semester, then start again.
Sincerely, The Student Voice of Berkner

Why is this important?
To all Berkner Students & Parents: You have a voice so use it. There is no voice stronger than the voice of the people.
Despite the apparent reasons of our generation being addicted to technology and being below the standards of grade level education, Yondr pouches will only create sneaky kids and kids who dread waking up in the morning to go to school. There are other ways to heal us kids from the inside out. If you believe we can do it, sign this petition!
