Recently at HCHS the school faculty has introduced a new method of signing out of class. The students will bring their phones to the spot that the teacher has listed the QR code. Then we have to scan it, but the inconsistency in this method will not make this effective. Only people with an Iphone are able to use this method. So, therefore, this method is not 100% effective. This method makes it extremely easy for students to take their phones to the restroom with them. The whole point of the phone pouches is to make sure students are not on their phones during class as well as taking our phones to the restroom.
Before we had the QR code sign out we would use a piece of paper provided by the teacher to prove that the student signed out. As well as, where we are going. That way was safer for the student due to the teacher having physical proof that a student is in the restroom or with another teacher incase of an emergency such as a fire. With the QR code the teacher might not remember if a student left.
On the new QR code sign out sheets have more questions on them. To be able to sign out with this method you would have to scan the QR code, then wait for it to load. Sometimes the QR code will not load. Once the QR code loads then you have to fill out your school email, full name, which teacher you are with, where are you going. While you stand there and fill out the form it takes up even more of class time. Which is the opposite of what teachers want.
I personally do not think this method will not last for long because of the inconsistency of it. I think the school will finally realize that not every method is going to be suitable for different types of students. The whole point of the sign out QR is to see who uses the restroom at certain times or how frequently. The school is trying to stop the students from vaping in the bathroom but what are they doing to stop this. Teachers can legally say no when a student asks to use the restroom. On the other side of that, many parents will be frustrated with this and contact the school.
Did you like signing out on the paper better? Why or why not.
How long do you think this method will last?

I agree. It takes way to long to wait for the form to pull up. I think it is just a waste of time.
I think that the scanner has already died out and more people have found ways to get out of it. I think that ultimatly it was a stupid idea because if you want to control the kids that leave so often it should be the teachers and administrations job and they should be less lazy about it.
I agree. The QR scanner has already died out.
I prefer the singing out paper over the QR codes. There has been rumors that the QR code can track your device outside of school, which has infuriated many parents. I hope the QR codes will not last long, there is really no point in them.
I agree I like signing out on paper. I hope this method won't last long either.
Personally, I like signing out of paper better, but I can see the benefits of the QR scanners aswell. The QR scanner is able to tell the teachers if they are constantly going in every class, the same time as someone else, or the same time everyday. They can be inconvenient though. If someone doesn't have a phone, they have to take their computer out to fill out a google form. Also, many teachers don't even use them.
I kinda agree but then I do not. I do not think the staff is going to do anything about the students vaping in the bathroom.
I think that the QR code should not be a thing, some people don't have a scanner even on their camera I am one of those people it takes way longer and you can still goof off and not go where you're saying you're going. just because you fill out a form doesn't mean you are bound to the bathroom or wherever you are going.
I like signing out on the paper better because it takes less time and sometimes my phone is dead or I am grounded. I think this method will be up all year but the teachers will forget about it and just let them sign out on the sheet instead.
I agree. I would much rather sign out on a piece of paper instead of the QR code.
