Snow is still coming down, streets haven’t been plowed how am I expected to get my toddlers in this mess to school and daycare safely?
Stefanie supported: Make NYC public schools remote on February 24, 2026During the last storm, one of my 6th graders fractured her ankle from slipping on ice! A fellow teacher friend told me a high school student of hers got hypothermia because he chose to wait with a woman who slipped and broke her leg on the sidewalk until emergency services arrived. The conditions were unsafe for walking commuters & as I myself struggled to cross Grand Concourse I couldn’t help but think about my students with mobility disabilities and how difficult it would be for them to get to school. Please make the call for remote learning to protect student & staff safety!
Shelby supported: Make NYC public schools remote on February 24, 2026Remote learning was the focus for years when needed in a time of crisis. This is a need now for our city. Staten Island roads are not plowed, sanitation trucks and plowing companies are stuck. Teachers, staff and students can’t even get out of their front doors. The snow is taller than most of the children and it has yet to stop. The conditions to drive are extremely unsafe and will ice overnight making it worse. Buses could barely make it down students blocks during the last, less severe snow storm. Students were missing school or late for weeks because of it. Please show your care for our dedicated workers in this time and make us remote tomorrow.
Gabrielle supported: Make NYC public schools remote on February 24, 2026I use music to help me focus, without it I always have bad and stressful days . Also I've had situations where I was stranded in a bathroom where if I didn't have my phone I would have been stuck. I also have severe anxiety and depression so having something to calm me or being able to text friends after a test is always helpful. So I think that the phone ban will do more harm than good.
Shelley supported: End the Alabama School Phone BanHi there! I’m Madison, and I’m a senior, a daughter, a student, and a young woman navigating a world that often feels a bit unsafe. When Alabama implemented the FOCUS Act and banned phones in schools, I didn't feel more focused; I actually felt more vulnerable. As a girl, I already tend to be more cautious and aware of my surroundings. Now, I’m expected to go through my school day without the one thing that provided me comfort, connection, and a sense of safety.
My phone is my link to my paralyzed mom, helps calm my anxiety, and lets me reach out to my family or call for help if I ever need it. It’s not just about losing a device; it’s about losing our peace of mind. We’re not looking to scroll through TikTok during class; we just want to feel seen, heard, and protected. Thanks for understanding!
