In my opinion, no they shouldn't share their personal information because there's a lot of reasons why you shouldn't share your personal information in social media platforms such as, people being able to use it against you, identity theft, can be used for illegal activities, a possible victim for theft (like let's say you posted something saying that you're going out of town, people can use that information), and any sensitive information that people can use to bully you.

Very personal information should never be shared and that is part of basic internet safety. I do believe that as long as you have basic knowledge of how to keep yourself safe online, it's fine to share things like names or nicknames, age, and the like, as people nowadays do use those kind of information to find their spaces especially on platforms like Twitter, but there's a difference on the personal info that's relatively safe to share and personal info that can be documented and used against you (for example, your location, or documents that you shouldn't even be sharing).

No, social media is not a safe place for everyone especially for teens. Sharing personal informations on social media basically exposes their life. It’s not wrong to show some life moments, but they should know what to post and what not to post. Not everything is supposed to be shared in social media.

Depending on the day/the activities that happened during the day. A big school event, especially educational, should have homework related to that event, especially if it is a very significant one. A normal day should definitely have homework, like when there are new topics or topics that the students have not yet mastered.

Participation in voting for school policies

# data[].attributes.body
Choices related to school regulations and policies have a direct impact on students' everyday lives and learning environments, they need to be a subject to a vote. Giving students a say promotes citizenship, accountability, and critical thinking. Additionally, it fosters a more polite and inclusive learning environment where each viewpoint is respected and acknowledged. The opinions of the learners ensures that regulations are fair and appropriate, even though adults may arrive at decisions. Greater connections among the school community and better attendance can result from involving the students themselves in the process.

In my opinion, phones can be distracting during class hours, but it is easy to avoid it. During class hours, your phone should be in silent mode in order to avoid distractions in class. It shouldn’t be banned because the student can use it for emergency purposes too.

"Should homework be banned or limited in school?"

In my opinion, I believe that homework should be limited in school. Why? Students are usually burnt out coming home from school; thus, with pending homework/activities due the next day, student would most likely stay up late, finishing their works—affecting their sleeping schedule. At most, students spend more time in school, than at home—awake. Homework would drain a students mental, and physical state—but it still depends on how hard the task is, or how many there are. Though, this does not apply to performance tasks, or major tasks that are required to do.

Not to say that homework should be banned, but should be limited. If students would want to go back onto a topic, or practice their skills upon the topic, they are able to search practices on the internet. But, it is still good to sometimes give out homework in order for the student to learn properly, and master their skills—but not to a point where there are so much tasks to do that it would affect a student's personal life.

Yes, because those rules affect us directly. We spend most of our time in school, so our opinions should matter. When students can vote, they feel more responsible and respected. It also helps teachers and school leaders understand what students really need.

No! The digital world is constantly evolving; we have modern technology and advanced online platforms for everyone, including predators. In my opinion, teens are the easiest targets for predators online, as kids are supervised, old people don't engage as much, and adults know better, while teenagers are very hormonal, experienced about the internet like adults, but are still vulnerable and sometimes gullible like children. Teenagers are very curious people, we make friends online, play games with strangers, and look for whatever we can online to entertain ourselves. So much so that sometimes we stumble onto things we should and accidentally share too much. A predator can be anyone, whether it be a person on omegle, a random person we follow on instagram, or even a person you play games with on discord. Teens are not young adults, rather, maturing children, we still have more to learn so we should be careful of what we say online. Whether they be pictures, words, or videos.

Homework load should be lessened since school is already a place for learning. Students spent 8 hours and 15 minutes in school studying and doing activities, seatworks, quizzes, etc. It should be lessen since home is the only place they can rest after school and have time for themselves.

I believe that they should have the the freedom to vote since they are the one studying. Giving students the voice to speak their own opinions not only promotes responsibility in decision making, but can also make them feel heard. In addition, their ideas can contribute to improving the school and making it a better place to learn.

No, but we should limit on using phones especially when having classes. Bring phone at school makes us students to easily contact our families in case of emergency. We may also use our phone for educational purposes but when we only had permission to use it inside the classroom, and it is our responsibility to take care of our own phones.

No because, it’s also for their communication. Let’s say a family emergency might happen and the student won’t be able to be informed. Smartphones are also useful for educational purposes, like searching for information or using learning apps. They can help students stay updated, organized, and connected during school hours.

In my opinion, it is best to allow students to be able to work part-time jobs in order to make money.

Sometimes, when a student's family struggles financially, and are not able to pay rent/dues—like school tuition, water bill, electricity, or even rent—dyan dadaan ng paghihirap, and possible downfall of the student, and their family. At times, the student would have a decision: to work to help their family, to stay in school as long as they are able to financially pay the school tuition, or juggle both work, and school. Allowing the student to work in order to make money, help the family, and be less of a hassle at home would be very appreciated.

But, it is important to remember to balance properly your time—time management. If you ever see a great impact—in a bad way—of how much it affects a student's academic performance, it is best to stop them from working, since studying would help reach greater heights. If hindi kaya talaga, let the student aim to earn scholarships in order to learn, and help the family.

Yes, as catholic high school student, we're the ones who experience the impact of these rules and consequences every day, so our perspective is crucial. the consequences may be viewed as fairer and more relevant, promoting a more positive school culture. We're taught the importance of justice and understanding, which should extend to school discipline. The consequences can reflect a more restorative approach, focusing on learning and personal growth, aligning with catholic values of compassion and redemption. This also creates a more inclusive environment where we feel heard and respected, fostering a stronger sense of community and responsibility.
