This ban is truly ridiculous. The school I go to doesn't allow cell phones until high school. Next year, I would've finally been able to use my cell phone in school. I recently heard that they're getting banned in NYS.
As someone with no friends at school, it gives me something to do during lunch. Just to add, cell phone usage does not contribute to this. Not only is it an escape, but it's also good to have in case of an emergency.
In New York, there are a ton of school shootings. If one were to occur, students wouldn't be able to contact their parents to let them know what's happening. The schools' communication with parents is usually unhelpful.
In conclusion, instead of a complete ban on phones in NY, there should be a ban on using cell phones in class, meaning you can use them during free periods. Please consider my opinion and other students' opinions on this matter to reach a verdict that will be satisfactory to the majority in NYS.
We try to visit NYC often. We got married at a church in Fort Hamilton while my husband was guarding the subway system after 911. Now that I need to use a wheelchair (NYC is not wheelchair friendly), my husband has to drive everywhere. The extra expense would be outrageous for us. Please excuse handicap people outside NYC from having to pay this toll. Thank you!!
My family has fallen victim to this hell and it costed the mother of my child her life and havent seen my son in 2 years and would love to expose these criminals that are acting as judges
