Each student at Stanhope Elmore High School will get a Yondr pouch to lock up their cellphones at the start of each school day.

MILLBROOK, Ala. - Technology in the classroom has its place, but educators say cellphones have become a distraction. Now one area high school is come up with a solution. But not everyone is happy with the move.

“Our teachers on our building leadership team had some great concerns about instruction in the classroom,” said school Principal Ewell Fuller. “They actually made a statement to me that we either have to choose to be cellphone police or teach class.” “This is not a punishment. This is an opportunity for you to go in that classroom to get every minute of instruction that you can get from a teacher without the distraction of a cellphone,” said Fuller.

Fuller says there is a landline phone in every classroom. He also pointed out that he met with Millbrook’s mayor and police before implementing the new rule.
