The school actually agreed to let us bring our own laptops so we can finally stop dealing with those awful netbooks that glitch out every five minutes. I am honestly in shock because I thought for sure they would just ignore us but it turns out the administration was listening …

Hi all, I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that I am sick of the school-provided net books and their constant issues. Due to the unreliability and faulty quality of the tablets provided by All Hallows' School , the need to use other devices such as laptops from home has become a necessary requirement for girls needing to do school work . From the lack of Internet access, short battery life and frequent technical issues, using school tablets has become a major hassle, especially in grade 12. So I have decided to start this petition in favour for the school to allow us to bring in our own computers and let us connect our own computers to the school internet (you can no longer connect to AHS3).Whilst saying this , I understand that some people may not have these difficulties with their netbooks and may be perfectly happy to utilised them at school and home. This is just to allow girls to have access to their own devices in the event that their netbooks / tablets do not work efficiently. If this petition gets enough interest ,I will push to get a meeting with whoever can fix these issues. Thanks everyone!

I honestly cannot believe how quickly this has taken off because I was worried nobody else actually cared about the netbooks being total paperweights. Seeing so many people feeling that same frustration with the school tablets makes me feel like we might actually get someone to listen to us for once.

Our current devices are not reliable, so why not have our own computer inwhich we know won't fail.

Honestly, I go to grammar and they just introduced Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and although it's really great and I love it, it does cause majority of the people I know to go off task because there are literally to regulations when it comes to using your own laptop, school legally isn't allowed to do anything. But if the tablets are preventing you from completing school work effectively and efficiently then I fully support this petition.

I really don't like how quickly my computer looses charge and I only ever use my Mac at home to complete school work.

the girls at all hallos should be allowed to bring their own devices to school if the school provided tablets keep causing issues

I don't need to bring in another laptop nor do I own one but I think it's unfair that other girls are restricted because the leaders of the school think we're jealous little kids who'll get upset because someone else has something we don't.
