By Hunter White Last year’s ban on cell phones has made a huge impact on education at East. I was curious to know how many people sneak their phones in every day which nobody would really know and how many people get caught with their phone every month. SSO Ramos said, “1 to 10 people get caught with their phones daily, whether it is through the scanners in the morning or during school hours. Not many people have gotten caught with their phones lately and it's pretty odd. When students walk through the scanners in the morning they do go off but a phone is never found on them or in their book bag. It is really hard to catch students with their phones in the morning because there is a limit to how much time we can search them and plus everybody is trying to get to breakfast so we don't want to hold up anybody.” There has been controversy on SSOs letting students walk through with their phones on purpose out of favoritism. I also asked Ramos about this and he said, “Personally I never let anyone walk through with their phones but maybe some SSOs have.” Phone sneaking is a hard thing to catch but it seems students are at least keeping them hidden in class so their classwork isn’t affected.
