The article discusses the challenges faced by Achievement First Ujima High School in Brooklyn as students use Yondr pouches to restrict phone access in classrooms. While these pouches aim to minimize distractions and enhance focus, students are often determined to retrieve their phones, leading to disruptive behaviors. The clattering sounds of students attempting to break open their pouches illustrate their desperation, and the article highlights the contradiction between the intended academic benefits of the pouches and the reality of student actions. Ultimately, the use of Yondr pouches sparks both focus and frustration among students.
It sounds like someone is taking a baseball bat and swinging it into a wall. All of this energy to hopefully break open their pouches.
Students don't care and will stop at nothing to retrieve their phones.
Yondr pouches are helpful in school because they help students stay focused in class and improve their grades.
At 9:30 in the morning there are five students in one bathroom stall trying to open up the Yondrs by slamming them against the inside of the stall.
