As a girl around the same age of Hailey, this needs to be brought up in all schools, to bring awareness to not just children but teens and adults. Hailey didn’t deserve this , no one does.
Education is where change begins, absolutely every young woman should know the warning signs for grooming and abuse. As a mother myself teaching stranger danger is an obvious one but educating a teenager on these warning signs is often overlooked because violence in relationships and grooming seems rare until it’s someone you know.
As a mother to 2 boys, gender doesn’t discriminate!! We need to help these children understand the gravity of talking to strangers online— even if they appear to be real.. even through Gaming platforms.
Lunch and learn allowed me, a physically disabled student, to make up tests and quizzes I missed due to complications of my disability. I don’t know how I’m going to make up those same assignments this year. As a rising senior, I was looking forward to having the ability to leave school for lunch, especially because I’m not able to get into the senior lounge since it has stairs. Now, pretty much the only senior privilege, the lounge, is something I can’t access. Please ASHS Staff rethink this.
As an incoming freshman at Abington Senior High School, I am severely disappointed in the actions that the school district has been taking.
Every time I move up to a new school, from elementary to now, the experience is ruined due to changes made by the board, and I will not allow it to be ruined any longer.
Lunch and Learn is such an important aspect of ANY school, regardless of whether it's elementary, middle, or high school, and frankly, it should be added to ALL. The fact that we are TAKING IT AWAY is harmful and insensitive to your students.
Reading people's stories in this comment section alone is an insight into why it should never be removed, but instead you want to limit your students from being strung. You want success from your students, but you take away what little we have to be the person you want.
This choice shows a lack of consideration for your students and deserves an apology, an explanation, and dedication to make a change.
This will fail. It will bring students with lower grades and less morale and create more stress. I urge the School Board to rethink this for the benefit of their students.
I 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.
