Yondr Pouches

Inconvenience and Lack of Flexibility

One of the primary issues with Yondr pouches is the inconvenience they cause for students. These pouches are designed to lock phones inside, and students can only access their devices during designated times or by visiting a designated unlocking station. This system introduces unnecessary interruptions and can be a hassle during emergencies, when quick access to a phone may be required. For example, if a student needs to contact a parent or guardian in a situation where immediate communication is necessary, having to leave the classroom or wait for an unlocking station could delay critical communication.

Accessibility Concerns

Another concern is the impact Yondr pouches have on students with disabilities or those who rely on their smartphones for accessibility features. For students with physical or learning disabilities, a smartphone may serve as an essential tool for learning or communication. For instance, students may use their devices for text-to-speech software or to access educational apps that cater to their individual needs. Locking away phones could hinder their ability to use these resources effectively.

Yes, we understand that it can distract students but students don’t lock them away any way they go in the bathroom or in a locker room to use their phones,

Schools have wasted thousands of dollars buying these yondr pouches and magnets when kid don’t use them which is why the schools are wondering why the government is threatning to shutdown after school,hmmm I wonder why maybe because of all the money they waste on yondr pouches no one uses.

Conclusion

I think the government shouldn’t have wasted all its money on Yondr pouches, but it is not just us it is other schools and states that use them, I think the schools should just not use your pouches.
