Solving NYC Schools' Cell Phone Issue
Today, it was reported that the DOE's plan to install cell phone lockers outside of several schools has been put on hold. This plan, (thought by many, myself included, to be a waste of money) was created as a possible resolution to the Cell Phone Ban, the contentious rule that states that NYC students are not allowed to have their cell phones in school, even if they are turned off.
In short, the ban is wrong because it puts students, who commute up to 4 hours per day, into an unsafe situation because it takes away their main line of communication with parents and the police in the event of an emergency. This is in turn contributes to distrust between students and that makes the already difficult tasks of teaching and learning slightly more impossible.
