Stop MOE from banning smartwatches and health fitness trackers
The Issue
A lot of us already own non-cellular smartwatches (Apple Watch GPS, Huawei Band, etc.) that literally can’t run social media or messaging without our phones nearby. And our phones are in the lockers. So these watches become watches. Plus fitness trackers. That’s all.
The new blanket ban hits students who bought their watches way before this rule was even announced, and that just feels unnecessary.
What I'm asking for (super minimal):
Let those already with the watch to keep using it
This is not the final fight — this is just Step 1: fix the unfair part first, then i will settle this out Mcare and the schools
If you agree this is a reasonable start, drop your name on the petition.
