If it's not in that c in fall into one of those categories it would be okay which seems like there are some categories of overlap of what's okayed by this that might cause some consternation on identity harm protocol so that's a question want to think about and then second is is there a power differential between um a student handing something out or posting something and a teacher handing something out and posting something and should that be considered should there be a different policy or should those entities be treated differently

So I think doing prohibiting them during instructional time would be most beneficial because they're not on their phone when they actually need to be learning and educated

Our personal opinion is kind of the option one Bell to Bell just kind of gone for the day and just focus on learning and getting an education and just being engaged with school and I think that would also um improve our culture a little bit better just a school culture

I have a note from my doctor saying I need to have my cell phone on me because of the anxiety that I have and so it's that's some of the things that we are going to have to be if if we go to the Bell the Bell Route that's another thing that will pop up that we will be having to do guaranteed

Excess smartphones any studies that you look at you know among youth is linked to increased anxiety depression hindrance to academic instruction and learning and other mental health issues but yet we have an opportunity and the responsibility as a school board to do what we feel is best for students and and for me I I think it's important to um you know and I'll be supporting option one for the Bell to Bell

I would love for that to be in place and to work will it work so do we need to just give it a little bit um of room a kid going between Class phones are part of life now when I went to school we didn't have phones so sure we we could get by without phones but it wasn't an option uh but now everybody has phones and there's also a part of learning to navigate life with a phone because that will be part of your adulthood and if you have them in passing time hopefully you won't use it but you might need to put an assignment on your calendar um or quick look up something for class the next hour
