Stop Yondr


Stop Yondr
The Issue
The Newton School F.A. Day is making a change with Yondr. This is an electronic pouch that will lock our electronics for the entire school day. I think this is terrible. The reason for using your phone isn't always for games. What if you have to text your parents to pick you up? Or to tell your parents to bring something you forgot? Or it could be something personal you don't want people to hear. I don't think it's fair that you have to go to the main office to make a personal call. I don't think anyone would be comfortable while calling and seeing staff members looking. I think instead of Yondr pouches we should get storage units in each class to hold phones. And, at the end of every class, you take it out and put it into the next class pouch. This makes it so it doesn't feel locked up and is still free to use for important texts and calls. This also helps save money, these storage units won't break. We don't need over-advanced technology, we just need regular things.
