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.
Shelley supported: End the Alabama School Phone BanThis 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 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 BanI was sitting in class when my mom was trying to call me. She wanted to tell me that my grandma had just passed away from cancer. But I never got the call, because my phone was locked away in a Yondr pouch. When I got home, she broke down telling me that she couldn’t reach me in the moment she needed me most.
John supported: End phone ban in all schools in ArkansasThe young woman that endured this comment and unwanted touch is my niece.On top of the embarrassment, women and officers were laughing. What if your child was subjected to this unwanted action, would you still laugh? I hope there is an investigation and severe consequences for these school board members.
Penny supported: Fire Jerry Boyd and Keith Ervin from Washington County Board of EducationDuring 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, 2026Snow 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?
