"Middle School Removes Bathroom Mirrors to Curb TikTok Filming"

A North Carolina middle school removed bathroom mirrors to prevent students from using bathroom breaks to record TikTok videos, citing an increase in students missing class time. The school is also implementing a digital hall pass system to track student whereabouts. This move is part of the school system's efforts to educate students on "digital citizenship" and minimize distractions to foster a better learning environment. The use of TikTok and cell phones in schools has sparked debates about tech addiction and student behavior.
