The Washington School District in western Pa. made the change to its policy right before the start of the new school year, according to WPXI.
“We initially looked at different ways of handling cellphones,” Henderson said to WPXI. “I’ll be the first one to admit that I initially was the one to say, let’s teach students how to be responsible with their cellphones. Like, if they want to use them in the hallways, use them in the hallways. If you’re texting. But just being in the classroom. Listening to the teachers, it became a thing where you’re seeing and you’re observing that a lot of class time became addressing cellphones.
Anna Hyslop, both a student and a mother of two, told WPXI she was worried about not being able to check her cell phone during the day.
