Do you think that an EHall pass is useful for our school? This is the new debate our school is trying to reason out. In the past years, we have had a couple of different ways to be excused to the restrooms/halls. It seems that none of those ways worked out in the end. Do we really need a tracker of who is in the hallways or restrooms at all times? Are these decreasing problems? EHall Pass is starting to get used in several schools around the United States. Harlan has recently determined what EHall can do to stop our restroom/hall issues. A few days ago we started using passes on our phones/computers for whenever we need to leave the classroom so that the school can determine how many people get to use the restrooms/halls at a time. You get four passes a day, and have a time limit until you get a flag.
EHall pass is definitely beneficial in our school. Using these passes will allow only a certain amount of people to be out of the classroom at one time. This will prevent too many people in the hallway/restroom and will enable any issues to be caused. This will allow staff at school to know where students are located in the school. Some teachers also believe it will lower the amount of students that go to the restroom to vape.
Now EHall pass can be non-beneficial in different ways. This website tends to take a while for the actual pass to go through and get approved, which takes class time away from the student and teacher. After you leave the classroom and come back the teacher has to end this pass which also takes more class time away from the whole class. To fix this problem, they need to make it so that the students can start and end the hall pass on their own.
I have talked to a couple of teachers about the EHall pass and what their opinions on it are. One stated, “In the beginning, I thought it was going to be really bad, but once we started I have had little to no students ask me to use the restroom and I have not heard of any issues in the restrooms.” I then talked to a few students, and it seems that the student's views are not like the teachers. Most students think that it is a waste of our time. I personally think that it is beneficial outside of the classroom and in the restrooms. I, however, think it is very distracting in the classroom and seems to take more time out of class by taking out your phone/computer and filling out the pass.

I do think that it is beneficial in some ways but is very stupid. I think that in some ways yes it could be better but in some ways its not, due to the fact if someone really needs to go somewhere fast they won't have as much time as they could. Yes ehall pass does reduce certain problems in the halls and restrooms.
I agree with what you are saying, it is beneficial but also not incase of emergencies or if you have run out of passes.
I can agree with you on liking the Ehall passes better than the QR code, they seem much more efficient.
EHall passes are very beneficial because it will reduce probles in the hallways and bathrooms, however many student dont like EHall passes and they think is a waste of time. I do have to say that EHall passes are way better than QR codes because many kids dint have data on their phones.
I agree with you. I think everyone is actually using EHall passes way more than the QR codes which is working better.
I think the EHall passes will reduce the problems in the hallways and bathrooms but at the cost of time and restriction. Having a sense of freedom without the EHall pass made high school feel free. But with the enforced restrictions, it almost seems more like elementary school. I do think that people will find a way to break the EHall pass system, because history shows that people always find a way, but I think it is a good but restrictive way to keep everyone from breaking the rules.
It does seem like we are being treated like elementary students at times. With the EHall pass, it feels like we do not have as much freedom as we used to.
I hope that e-hall passes work. I feel like it would run more smoothly if we could be able to use it on our phones in each class insted of pulling out our computers. Its a huge hassle just to leave the class for 2-3 minuets.
I hope it doesn't cause a disruption like it is right now. Once we get used to it an learn how to properly use it, I think it will not be as distracting.
I think EHall passes can beneficial but only sometimes. As of right now it is just a distraction to students and teachers, like when it glitches or doesn't work. Then the teacher has to focus on that before getting back to the lesson. As time goes on I think they will become more beneficial, but whether we use EHall passes or not, kids will always find a way to get away from class if they wanted.
