Q: To combat cheating, should cell phones be banned at Gilroy High School?
Kay Wesley
Gilroy, retired finance manager
A: “No. I think they’d find a way to cheat no matter what. If some kids are going to, they’ll find one way or another.”
Dorine Tolson
Gilroy, 89, retired laundry worker
A: “No. Teenagers will be teenagers. They’ll do what they want to do.”
Clay Causin
Los Banos, 29, manager of Game Crazy in Gilroy
A: “Yes. Cell phones are not needed in school, anyway. If they are a distraction or hindrance, I don’t see why they shouldn’t be removed.”
John Keller
San Jose, 47, retired construction worker
A: “Yes. It’s not fair if they’re using cell phones for that reason.”
Brian Stelling
Gilroy, 36, firefighter
A: “No. They’re going to find a way around it. If there’s a way to have them turn their phones off while they’re on school grounds, that would probably help enforce it.”
Mark Lyons
Gilroy, 70, retired engineer
A: “Yes. If they can’t have cell phones in school, how will they cheat using cell phones?”
