![Geometry and Precalculus teacher Quinn Basewitz guides her students through the rules of a review game. Basewitz, in her first year of teaching at Palo Alto High School, said she is enjoying her time teaching and coaching field hockey at Paly. “It’s [Paly] been really welcoming, and it's a collaborative department, so I've had a lot of support,” Basewitz said. “I really enjoy getting to know students in class, and then I'm also coaching field hockey, so it's been fun to get to know students outside of the classroom.”](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/basewitz-e1758747544840-1200x855.jpg)
![In the fourth period AP Calculus BC class at Palo Alto High School, senior Crystal Li places her phone in the “phone jail.” Starting July 2026, this may become a normal procedure across schools in California thanks to Governor Gavin Newsom signing the Phone-Free School Act into law last week. According to Li, there are often unnecessary complications that come with enforcing phone restrictions. "It becomes a hassle putting it [a phone] in [the phone jail] before class, and taking it out after class," Li said. "There have been multiple times where kids from other periods interrupt the teacher to come back in and pick up a phone they left."](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/IMG_7386-3-1200x900.jpg)
