A Huntington Beach high school ditched hall passes and replaced them with QR codes, leaving some kids uneasy.
'My opinion of this whole scanning into the bathroom is definitely unfair,' Edison High School senior Jacob Green said. The new policy asks students to scan a QR code to leave a classroom. Green said that he doesn't want to be told when or how long he can use the restrooms while some of his peers are concerned about their privacy being compromised.
'Principal Daniel Morris told the Orange County Register that it's not a strict policy but rather guidelines for students who want to leave class and go to the bathroom, nurse, library or wellness center. He added it's something not all of the teachers have implemented. Students complained that three bathroom breaks a day with a seven-minute time limit is not enough.'Especially, for people like me,' student Ruby Meek said. 'I have to drink a lot of water.
