[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]notes to our principal

Start School Later: Consider delaying the start of the school day to after 8:30 AM. Research shows that later start times can significantly benefit students who are currently showing signs of exhaustion. This change is not only age-appropriate but has also been linked to improved student performance and well-being.

Cell Phone Use and Mental Health: There is a growing concern about cell phone addiction and its detrimental effects on students in the classroom. With mental health issues at unprecedented levels among youth, it is crucial to address and manage cell phone usage to foster a healthier learning environment and care for our kids addictions.[/quote]

Notes to you:

Later Start time:  No, some parents have to drive their kids and a later start time is an issue with work.  Its also an issue with outside activities.  Those activities enhance kids physical and mental well being.  Instead be a parent and enhance a bed time.

Cell phone use:  As a teacher, start teaching again.  Don't do few google slides and call it a day.  Use a real textbook, teach a lesson, review the homework from the previous day and hold kids accountable.  Kids are partly on cell phones because they are bored.  Your class is boring and not stimulating.  Fix it.  (and thank you to the teachers who do teach and put in an effort - referring to two we had last year who were life changing).[/quote]

Newsflash: teachers ARE teaching. Kids simply don't care how stimulating a lesson is, they care only about their phones. You'd know this if you stepped foot in a classroom instead of smugly posting from behind a screen. It's very clear you are completely blind to how phones are negatively impacting classrooms across the country, but continue to live in your world of delusion. You're the problem. [/quote]
