Blanketing the Issue
Some teachers and security have complained about students bringing their blankets to class is distracting to others. As a result, Don Lugo re-enforces its former policy of not permitting blankets on campus. Mrs. Cabrera explains, “It really does set a bad precedent about what we want to do in terms of being serious about the classroom.”

On November 16, 2015 Don Lugo announced that they will no longer be allowing their students to bring their blankets to school.
Although this policy may seem as a new one to the students, it was actually in place when Mr. Jones was here – just not strictly enforced. After expressed concerns by some teachers and security issues about students bringing their blankets to class, the administration decided to re-enforce the policy. Dr. Cabrera explains, “We need to keep this an environment that is conducive to learning.”
Even though teachers view blankets as a distraction, some students don’t see them as such. Riya Patel (’16) says, “I think that blankets shouldn’t be considered a distraction when a classroom is full of distractions. Even someone giggling can be a distraction.”
