Brentwood is adding a new rule! If you’d like to use your phone during school, you must pay $3 every day when you come inside at the entrance for school Wi-Fi.
In every entrance, there will be a line to register and pay for Wi-fi access. Otherwise, the school will block your cell service.
“I feel like kids will be upset with them charging for Wi-Fi,” said Sam Sum.
Starting April 1, there will be a register at the front of the Ross and Sonderling entrances so that students can pay $2 for cell service and $3 for Wi-Fi. Dr. Taylor has noticed students have been using phones way too much and not focusing enough on school.
Some kids might be frustrated about the charging of cell service and wi-fi, but education is clearly more important. Administrators believe that grades will start increasing with the lack of phone usage during school hours.
“Maybe we would be more focused if we had less screen time,” said Tim Mobile, a senior.
Education is the one thing a person needs to become successful. Some people might disagree and say, “I can become successful without education,” but without having your high school diploma you won’t have a stable job. It’s one of the recommendations to get a great paid job.
The administrative team plans to use the money they collect to improve the school lunches, run better field trips, and provide more equipment for sports and better school apparel. Teachers will also receive a bonus because of their hard work.
“With the money they collect, we can have better lunches to at least enjoy being in school,” said Veri Son, a junior.
Colleges and universities might be impressed by how high school students’ grades are rising to the top and setting a great education environment.
“Maybe we will earn more scholarships from colleges and universities,” said Spec Trum, a sophomore.
We can’t guarantee if other schools will do the same, but it might inspire them to charge Wi-Fi too. It might create a better environment for everyone, a heathier place and a stronger community.
