No phones all day
You are the student representative on your high school's policy committee.
The principal proposes banning phones for the entire school day, including lunch and breaks, with phones locked in pouches at the door. Many teachers and parents strongly support the idea. Others object, including parents who want to reach their children in an emergency and students who use their phones to manage part-time work schedules or health conditions. The committee asks for your recommendation.
