a mobile app has a lot more functionality and can prevent false alarms that are common with panic buttons on a lanyard.

Everyone carriers a cell phone with them everywhere. They find it more important to have than any other object (even a school ID). By utilizing a cell phone for a panic alert system for staff, the entire building is safer.

Chris Noell

Cell phones are like wallets - everyone remembers to bring them so they are at hand during an emergency.

I put more faith in people, not an app, for a child's safety. Cell phones should be banned in school. I might compromise if cell phones where locked in a locker (muted) and/or a zero tolerance policy for cell phones in the classroom. In-between classes, lunch, etc is OK.

Better for our air quality, benefits Oregon agriculture vs. Chinese corporations, and they are the real thing.

Almost no Christmas trees are pine trees.

Artificial because it's easier, and definitely cheaper. We have had the same articial tree for about 10 years. I refuse to pay $100 or more for a real Christmas Tree. We stopped buying real Christmas trees when it cost us $50 for one. Now the Christmas trees are $100 or more.

Ik its a tradition but if u cant keep ir tree healthy and alive outside dont cut it down jus to have it up for a month

Joyce Scarborough

I really would love a real tree, but have learned to love artifical trees to keep alergies under control.

For most of my life, I was an avid real tree person; however, in my later years, I find my artificial tree very easy to deal with, so I am a convert.

Real ones dry out if you don't water them often and the needles come off

There's something magical about a sprinkling of snow on Christmas 😊 And heavy enough snow means snow angels, snowmen, and snowball fights! ❄️

Belinda Kitchen

The older I get - since I don't ski any more - snow just represents work for me, so if I never saw another snow flake, it would be just fine with me!
