This feels like a law that was made without actually considering whether it would help students or not. We’ve been begging for resources and support for years, and instead were met with a phone ban. You can’t repeatedly ask students want they need, blatantly ignore them, and then think your solution will solve everything.
Kelsi supported: End the Alabama School Phone BanI 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!
Madison supported: End the Alabama School Phone BanEducation 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.
Zoey supported: Pass Hailey’s Law: "Pink Alert" and Mandated Grooming Awareness Education in SchoolsAs 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.
Lyla supported: Pass Hailey’s Law: "Pink Alert" and Mandated Grooming Awareness Education in SchoolsAs 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.
