- This year Woodstown is being too strict with the phone ban , I understand you don’t want us on our phones during class .......but not even during lunch . Also technically you are not allowed to take a phone without parent approval, which my parents would not let you touch my phone let alone take it . Woodstown you need to fix something!!!! ( Ps if you put a fake name I will delete it because it’s wasteful and it won’t count )

The feedback I read daily confirms that the current policy feels disconnected from our actual needs during the school day. I have been gathering these accounts to present as a clear record of how this restriction impacts our time together. We are preparing to bring these concerns directly to the administration to seek a more reasonable balance.

Seeing the growing agreement around this policy change confirms that many of us are looking for a more balanced approach to how we spend our time at lunch. This momentum suggests that our concerns are shared by a much larger portion of the student body than I initially realized.

The phone ban is to harsh. It was only a few people who got in trouble with phones, let them be punished and not make the rest of the school suffer. And I understand no phones while a teacher is teaching but at lunch, recess, EEE, or any other free time we should be given the option to have our phones.
This idea is perfect! I personally struggle a lot without my personal device during school, more times than necessary. We understand you “have enough devices to provide” yet in most cases we aren’t allowed to use them or they don’t work. If you’re going to take away phones at least make school devices easier to handle for all students.
I’m not mad about no going on my phone to take pictures or whatever. I need to contact people and it’s 10x easier when I can just text them . There has be multiple times when one of my parents has tried to contact me during the school day and I did not receive that message until after school .
Yeah the devices we get barely work , chrome books are horrible and the iPads load slow due to horrible WiFi
Ok. So legally, if you violate a school policy banning cell phones they are within their rights to confiscate it for the day. I do agree that the school should have the right to confiscate if you are using it in class; however a ban during lunch is a bit extreme.

Like what if people have a Change of plans in their schedule during the school day and need to contact parents of vice versa. Say someone gets hurts or the Paraent won’t be able to pick them up. There are many dangers to this. The schools response is to just call the office but that is so much more impractical than being called at lunch. Go ahead ban it during class, but banning it at lunch is over excessive.
