Especially for mental health or injury

I have no problem with it. Many other countries recognize the importance of leave for certain situations and have long-instituted laws allowing it. The US is so work-oriented, people burn out or lose their job when they need to take leave.

I'm tired of paying for everyone else to take time off. They need to figure it out like the rest of us do!!!!

Cheers to that!!!

We need to get people back to work, not give them more excuses and reasons to stay home and get paid for doing nothing,

Kimmy Wasatch

Way too much room for fraud and unnecessary time off putting a burden on your employer and fellow workers. Why should I have to pay for people to take off work?

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?

Kimmy Wasatch

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

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

Given the recent wildfires near Redmond, would you support a personal fireworks ban?
