[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At Yorktown, they are now confiscating phones if they are seen in the lunch room. My DC is following the rules, but said morale is really low, especially among seniors.[/quote] Wasn’t one of the justifications for the all day ban to improve mental health? Seems that backfired. Treating seniors like toddlers -not cool! [/quote] Definitely backfired, but I remember reading a number of public comments concerned with this very issue that seemed to be ignored. I'm lucky that I have a senior who has permission to leave at lunch b/c the environment is not good right now. Lunch used to be a fun, relaxing time in between all the AP classes - not anymore. To the poster mentioning senioritis, I think that is part of it. A lot of hard admit schools will be releasing soon, the semester is coming to an end and they came back from break and were being treated like elementary kids. [/quote]
