Many of my students display addictive behaviors regarding their phones, and it has proven detrimental to their learning and social development. Any positive of cell phone use is vastly outweighed by negative consequences.

Sam Davis

Long overdue. Students need to focus on being educated in school, not watching videos, playing games, & chatting with each other. Educators and others do not need the distraction that cell cause. If there are emergencies that students need to know about there are other ways for them to find out.

Kids are way too addicted to their phones and it is affecting their learning. Phones could be kept in a basket in the classroom in case of emergency, but definitely NOT with the kid.

David Kline

My teaching friends say it's been a battle to keep kids off their phones in class and wastes a bunch of class time time addressing this. How will this be enforced any differently though?

Between cell phone usage and lower graduating standards, OR is failing students

This just gives our school teachers ONE more thing to do! This generation has already asked them to raise our kids! Why don't you just take care of the cellphone problem at home!

Tammie Hagemann

There are times that they shouldn't have them but check them at the door of class rooms to cut back on the use. Emergencies do happen and cells are useful

Scott Burge

I agree but there are other age appropriate options for safety.

I don’t support the idea of a community living within my community that doesn’t have to abide by the laws and litters carelessly. Along with supporting a community that isn’t contributing to ours in any positive manner, using up costly resources.

If I had any say in the matter at all, it would be.... If a person doesn't want to put any effort into improving there life, I don't want a single cent of this communities tax dollars going to help them. Its an absolute waste! Those people just wanna do drugs and avoid any of life's responsibilities
