Ok so I don't know about your schools rules but I am 16 in high school and the rules at the Ottumwa high school suck.
Ok so the rule about phones, yea I get it we don't really need to be on them all the times but some people have anxiety and such. I have anxiety and the only thing that calms it down for me is pure music. Not rap, not pop, not fucking classic, but pure rock and country.
We also have parents or just a parent or someone who takes care of us that gets hurt and sick sometimes. If we are expecting a call from someone, WE DO NOT NEED TO LEAVE OUR PHONES IN THE BACK OF THE ROOM!And we sometimes have to leave early and we need to check the time. We only don't want to be at school any longer than we have to be. Some people have other shit to do than wait on the phone to ring.
To be continued
