What is the no fly zone?

“There are no passes given the first 10  minutes of class and the last 10 minutes. There’s 50 minutes in each class. If you have to go somewhere, go in the middle 30. Essentially, we want kids to get to class on time. Essentially, what will end up happening is there will be kids hanging outside their class and then they get to their class and the bell rings and they have to go to the bathroom, well what was going on the whole passing period? The first 10 minutes class is getting started and teachers are wrapping up. Also, we don’t want people missing out on that important education.”

What is your opinion about the new rules?

“We want the to get the best education possible. Being prepared is a big part of it. Not missing class being in class. Being more respectful to the teachers if you’re late, that’s disrespectful to the teachers.”

What are the new rules?

“The Electronic Policy , Attendance Policy , passes in the assignment notebook.”

What helped influence the new rules?

“It became hard to distinguish between a student listening to music on their iPod or phone. Students were abusing the bathroom passes, so having them in the assignment notebook you can only use the bathroom about three times a week in class.”
