 Math teacher Lawrence Baker advocates for keeping students' phones put away through his numbered cell phone caddy. “I really think this helps some of the students that just reach for their phone out of habit. Asking the students to put their phones in the caddy still requires them to follow the rules and there will always be students who won’t do that, so this doesn’t help them and I end up still having to police those students. That’s why I want to see a total ban,” Baker said.

Working on a project, sophomore Skyler Hansen examines one of the walls. Hansen explained that Geometry and Construction is usually divided up between two periods. “You do an hour of either geometry or construction, depending on what the teachers want to do at the beginning. Then the next hour, you do whatever you didn’t do in the first hour,” Hansen said. “In geometry, you’ll learn a specific set of [information], and in construction, you use that after you learn the geometry.”
