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 signing out on the paper does not take as much time and yes we arent supposed to have our phones so how do teachers expect to control the bathoom issue and the phone issue.
I believe that the paper way of signing out and going to the restroom was way more effective than the QR code. The paper was so much quicker and tracked how much time a student was in the bathroom for.
I agree the QR code does not show how long certain students were in the restroom for. But the paper does.
I personally think that signing out on simply a piece of paper is one hundred times better than using a QR code. I think that it is very inefficient to make students take out their phones, spend a few minutes signing out with the code, and returning the phone to the pounch, all before even leaving the room to use the bathroom. I do not think that this method will last for much longer.
I agree with you. It is very inefficient to get our phones out when teachers and staff are super strict on phones. This will allow more kids to have access to their phones. I think the school needs to realize which issue are they more concerned about because this method can not solve both.
Me personally i think that paper signing out was better, it was quicker and more efficient but i get why because you would go throw tons of papers a day and it was hard to keep track of the papers. I think the school will stick with it for the rest of the year but i think they should be able to find a more efficient way to do it.
I kinda agree with you. I think that if the math department and other departments can print 120+ papers a day then they can afford to print off sign out sheets.
I prefer to sign out on paper than to have to scan a QR code because of how long it takes especially if you don't have an account made since they make you do it on the spot. Plus, the fact that it only works on iphones doesn't help, some people don't even have phones.
I agree The amount of time that it takes to scan the QR code and wait for it to load we could have been learning in class.
I think the signing out on a paper was much easier and I liked it a lot more. It was much simpler, especially in study hall with Mrs. Derby. I am hoping that the google sign out thing doesn't last too long. I hope they go back to using the paper by the end of the quarter.
