IF I RULED THE SCHOOL: LINDSAY GUTHRIE
Students talk about what they would change about SHS if they could
Lindsay Guthrie, Senior
If I were in charge, I would change the school’s no phone policy. Rather than having a strict policy where phones aren’t supposed to be seen in school, I would let it be up to the teachers to decide whether they want to allow phones into their classroom or not.
If teachers decide to allow phones in their classrooms, then listening to music or quietly being on your phone at appropriate times shouldn’t be a problem. And in classrooms that don’t allow phones, the teacher could take a phone if it distracts a student.
I think last year’s cell phone policy was effective and fairly punished those students who used their phones when they shouldn’t have.
