Teacher’s say

How do you think e-hall passes benefit or hold back the school?

For every issue, the Crusader asks several Bonita Vista High (BVH) teachers a question about a topic related to the BVH community. With the new implementation of the E-Hall pass, we decided to ask teachers their opinions on this new pass.

“There’s definitely the potential for benefit [in reducing] the use of [regular] passes and things going on in hallways that shouldn’t be happening. It has that potential, I am still awaiting solid evidence that that is actually being used that way.

“I like them, at first I didn’t know how it was going to go over but I have no problem with it. I like that it holds students accountable for how many times they’re leaving during the day.”

“I think it benefits, I’ve definitely seen a significant reduction in the traffic in the halls, I think that was the main priority of the program. I’m anxious to hear from our administrators as to the effectiveness of it but from my end it seems to be working.”

“It’s glitchy for me, I’ve had trouble signing in so I just let students use the regular hall pass because I can’t get on. I got an email saying how to get on but I haven’t followed up to make it work.
