Most students think the state’s new phone policy is very unfair.
“I think the phone policy is unfair,” Riley Thompson, freshman, said. “We should be able to have our phones out but not all the time. You should be able to have your phone out at lunch and before class starts.”
“I don’t like the policy for the phones,” Chance Parker, freshman, said. “We can’t have them in our pockets and that’s what annoys me the most. What if I have an emergency? What if there is a lock down, and I can’t get to my phone? I think they should change it to make it at least a little fair.”
“I honestly don’t mind the phone policy,” Calley Newton, freshman, said. “I don’t mind it because they’re not too strict on the phones. A lot of people that dislike it are dramatic. They can’t stay off their phones for a few hours.”
“I’m not a big fan of the phone policy,” Cameron Dickerson, freshman, said. “I think we should be able to text our parents instead of having to walk all the way to the office to call our parents when we could just shoot an easy text. I think it’s a big waste of time.”
“The phone policy is unfair,” Elijah Livengood, freshman, said. “Having our phones at lunch is something I think we should be able to do. Lunch is basically our free time, and I don’t get the point of keeping our phone in our bookbags.”
