What Does This Mean For The Magazine?
“I run a magazine business as my internship, including Olney's magazine, which is all digitally made. My phone isn't just for texting with friends. Chromebooks are restricted which means that if I don't have my phone or a tablet I can't do my job.
The school should not force us to lock away or phones and then claim to not be responsible if they get stolen when we live in a highly unsafe area. If I can't successfully manage my work as the magazine editor then I won't be putting my effort and creativity into a school that doesn't support the safety and growth of me or my peers.”
