New poll results

We've changed our Gradebook poll again today. This time, we're asking your thoughts about the importance of high school honors at graduation time. We appreciate you taking the time to respond.

As for our last poll question - Should students be allowed to have cell phones in school? - here's what you had to say:

  • Yes, but they should be off and out of sight during class periods.   136 votes - 58%
  • Cell phones? Give 'em a pen, paper and some books and get to educating. 51 votes - 22%
  • No, they're disruptive and offer opportunities to cheat. 46 votes - 20%

If you have any ideas for future questions, or any other thoughts about the Gradebook in general, please send an e-mail to solochek@sptimes.com.
