Brockton High School and Methuen High School both have new policies aimed at keeping kids off their phone in class
As kids get ready to head back to school, some Massachusetts school districts are asking students to put away their cellphones – in pouches and bins – so they can put their focus on their futures.
At Brockton High School, Principal Kevin McCaskill says students will now use Yondr pouches—special pouches that lock up their phones during class. Over at Methuen High School, the new policy asks students to place their phones in clear bins or pocket charts during class—unless they have an Individualized Education Program or 504 Plan that says otherwise.“They’ll still have their phones with them at lunch, but we don’t want to see them during class,” said Methuen Superintendent Brandi Kwong. “If it’s not a problem during instruction, we’ve solved our problem.
