  • Henrico students weigh in on school system’s cell phone policy


    https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=40Yx3N_0yHhAqNR00

    The return to school this month marked a new phone policy for some Virginia school divisions, but not Henrico County.

    While other districts such as Richmond City and Hanover County have adopted the Virginia Department of Education’s recommended “bell-to-bell” phone ban , which restricts students from having their phone on them from the first bell until the dismissal bell, Henrico has so far stuck with its current phone policy, which it first adopted at the start of this school year.

    The current HCPS policy requires middle and high school students to put their phones away during all classes, either in a division-provided pouch or lockbox or in their backpack, but allows students to have phones out between classes and at lunch. While the Henrico School Board is not set to make any immediate changes to the phone policy, they will review it along with the rest of HCPS’ Code of Student Conduct later this spring, Cox said.

    But despite HCPS’ phone policy being the most lenient in the Richmond region, many students are still not a huge fan of putting their phones away, saying that it makes them feel more vulnerable if an emergency were to occur.

    “I mean it’s a great idea, love the idea, you know, put phones away, less distractions. It just, you know, it just feels wrong,” said Richard, a junior at Highland Springs High. “It feels wrong not being able to have something that you can connect to your parents at any time just like that. Sure, if they call the school, they’ll get to you eventually, but if it’s something really, really pressing, they would want to get to you first.”

    Other students said that having their phones during class and throughout the day, even if they are just listening to music, can help them unwind and destress, especially on hard days.

    “I hate it,” Kevonte, a sophomore at Henrico High School, said about the phone policy. “Some kids would rather just be on their phone than talk to other people, some kids are like that. Some kids are more active and talkative, but some kids use [their phones] just to listen to music to kind of help calm down.”

    “I don’t think it’s necessary,” said Makyi, a senior at Highland Springs High. “We all need our phones, like when we’re having a hard day. It’s a positive when you’re having a hard day and can listen to music or something like that. Sometimes you just need to get away from everything. So I don’t really like it, I understand it, but I don’t like it.

    Implementation of policy varies

    However, some students have already seen the benefits of the new policy, especially when it comes to school fights. Students have often used phones to record fights and even instigate or coordinate fights on social media, Ashley said, but ever since the new policy went in place last August, she believes the number of student fights at Highland Springs High has gone down.

    “We haven’t really had any fights since people don’t have their phones, which is a great thing,” she said. “With the phones, people will be talking on the internet and people will be gossiping.”

    When it comes to implementing the phone policy, it often depends on the teacher, students said. Ashley said that she noticed that teachers at her school tend to be more lenient with upperclassmen students, but stricter when it comes to freshmen and sophomores.

    “Some of the teachers are strict. My teachers are more laid back with it, and I feel like the freshmen’s and the sophomores’ teachers are a little bit stricter with it, since they’re more the people that get into drama and stuff,” she said. “But my teachers are pretty laid back with it and pretty understanding.”

    D’quan, a sophomore at Highland Springs High, said that most of his teachers will let him listen to music during class, as long as he isn’t scrolling on his phone. However, some teachers have run into problems with students refusing to turn in their phones during class, he said, and administrators have had to be brought in.

    “There’s still a group of people who don’t turn their phone in,” he said. “Teachers try to enforce it. Some are strict and some don’t care. And then it gets to the point where some teachers start calling admin, and that’s when it gets real.”

    A senior at Henrico High, who wished to remain anonymous, said that their teachers are very lenient with the phone policy, and have not taken their phone away yet, instead letting them have it out only at the beginning and the end of class.

    “A lot of teachers don’t enforce it, so there’s that. Teachers are very chill about it. I haven’t had my phone taken yet, for months,” they said. “You can’t have it out, they’ll tell you to put it away, but they won’t put it in a [lockbox]. But for the first 10 minutes of class and the last 10 minutes of class, you can have it out.”

    And while they admitted that having their phone on them in school is highly distracting, even affecting their academic performance, they can’t seem to get on board with the idea of parting with it during the school day.

    “It’s badly distracting to all of the kids. It definitely is bad to have it in school,” they said. “Me personally, my grades would probably be better if I didn’t have my phone [in school]. But I need my phone, you know. It’s my phone.”

    In a recent survey conducted by Henrico students, opinions on the school system’s cell phone policy varied widely. Some students expressed frustration with the strict restrictions on cell phone use during school hours, citing the need for communication with parents and the importance of having access to their devices in case of emergencies.

    Others, however, supported the policy, arguing that cell phones are a distraction in the classroom and can disrupt the learning environment. They also pointed out that excessive cell phone use can lead to cyberbullying and other negative behaviors among students.

    Overall, the majority of students agreed that there should be some restrictions on cell phone use during school hours, but also believed that there should be more flexibility and allowances for certain situations. Whether it’s allowing students to use their phones during lunch or in between classes, there is a consensus that a balance needs to be struck between ensuring a focused learning environment and respecting students’ need for communication and access to technology.

    As the school system continues to evaluate and potentially update its cell phone policy, it’s clear that the input of students will be a crucial factor in shaping any changes that may be implemented. It’s important for school administrators to listen to the concerns and suggestions of students in order to create a policy that is fair, effective, and reflective of the needs and preferences of the student body.

  • This Central Florida school district cancels outdoor after-school activities due to cold weather


    OCALA, Fla. – Marion County Public Schools on Tuesday canceled outdoor after-school activities as the area braces for colder weather sweeping across Central Florida.

    On Tuesday, the district posted on Facebook that outdoor activities were canceled due to “predicted colder weather.” Those cancellations run from Tuesday through Thursday.

    However, the district assured that schools would still remain open despite the “wintery weather.” Indoor after-school activities will also remain as scheduled.

    “Other Marion County school districts in other states have canceled classes, but your Marion County Public Schools here in Florida will remain open on regular schedules,” a release from the district reads.

    According to the district, P.E. classes and recess will be moved indoors.

    In addition, the release urges parents to dress students who ride the bus in additional layers to protect them from the cold temperatures, and drivers are asked to be “extra cautious,” especially if the region sees freezing rains overnight.

    “Should conditions change and impact school schedules, we will share that information with additional Skylert messaging,” the release continues. “For now, stay safe and stay warm.”

    Central Florida will see widespread, scattered showers through the day Tuesday and overnight into early Wednesday. Many locations across Central Florida could rack up drought-denting rainfall with accumulations between 1-2 inches.

    Tuesday night, the north winds will bring even colder air, dropping lows to the mid to upper 30s north and west of Orlando, with low 40s along the I-4 corridor.

    A Cold Weather Advisory is already in effect for Marion and Flagler counties, with a chance of it being extended further south.

    With the mix of rain and freezing temperatures, there will be a slight chance we could see some sleet mix in with the rain over the far northern areas (Marion, Flagler counties) late Tuesday night, though no accumulation is expected.

    A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for Marion County starting overnight Wednesday morning.

    Houston Weather: Snow, cold timeline | Noon Update

    FOX 26 meteorologists Mike Iscovitz and John Dawson take a look at the conditions across the region after snowfall overnight into Tuesday morning. The cold is not over yet! How it could impact the Houston area.

    Timeline:

    The snow wound down on Tuesday, but the cold temperatures will stick around.

    Temperatures are going to climb above freezing for most of our area later on Tuesday.

    The snow that has fallen could melt later today and then re-freeze overnight as temperatures plunge back below freezing.

    That means there could be black ice on the roads on Wednesday morning.

    In light of inclement weather conditions, some school districts, including San Antonio ISD, have made the decision to remain closed on Wednesday. This closure is being implemented to ensure the safety and well-being of students and staff as they navigate potentially hazardous road conditions. It is important for families to stay informed about updates from their respective school districts and to prioritize safety during this time. Our thoughts are with those affected by the weather, and we hope for a swift return to normalcy.
