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 think the eHall pass should be allowed and used by our school. It lowers the amount of people going to the restroom and hallways at one time. This is good because teachers will know who left the classroom and how long they have been gone for instead of assuming how long they have been gone.
It is good to track down how long students are away from the class.
I think that students will still be able to do that stuff in the bathroom but it will limit the "meet-ups" and how many people are in there together at a time.
I think that they biggest problem with EHall passes is that they just take up everyone's class time. Hopefully we get used to them, so they eventually just stop taking up our class time, but right now, its really just annoying.
I agree with you, it does take more class time away from us than we would like.
Yes, although EHall pass can be annoying and not super efficiant, I think it's beneficial. Yes, I think this will be way better than the QR codes from last year. I think EHall pass reduces a lot of the problems in the restrooms and halls but not all of them.
Yes I agree, the passes are definitely beneficial in the bathrooms and halls but can be annoying and an interruption in class.
I do think that the EHall pass works, now I've personally never actually used it yet (not including when I wasn’t at school). Though I do hate how it uses one when you’re gone at a doctor's appointment or you’re going to the ortho. I feel like that is really the only dumb part since you shouldn’t use up a hall pass when you’re going to something that is related to health. Otherwise, I feel like it will help other students especially if in the future they might change their minds on what they want to do or have it less likely that kids will vape or skip class for a bit too.
I also think it is not very "fair" that you have to use one when you have an appointment because you really can not help that.
We should not have EHall pass because its a lot of work by taking out your comuter or phone waiting for it to load signing in and if the teacher says no or its full you have to wait even more. normal passes are better less stress and better than ehall passs
