Nicole Snyder+FollowTeens Spill on School Cellphone BansCellphone bans at school are getting stricter, but most teens aren’t loving the all-day, “bell-to-bell” rules.

Some students say the ban helps them be more present IRL, but nearly half think the rules are just too much. Would you survive a school day without your phone? #Education #CellphoneBan #SchoolLife12Share

Katherine Hunt+FollowBig changes ahead for Eugene’s Family School?Eugene’s Family School, known for helping kids who struggle in traditional classrooms, might soon share a building with Camas Ridge Community School to help the district save $160,000.
