text: If a students needs to call a parent because they need something from home it would be easier to call them at lunch time or during their free time. They could then deliver it to the school without any problem. If Policy 2 were in action they would have to eat quickly and then go to the office to call and by the time the parents arrives the bell for the period they needed from the parents might have already started. Another reason why they should is if they need to ask the parent about something that was happening later they could know instead of wandering around the school after hours wondering what to do. The student might need to know whether their parent was going to pick them up or if they needed to walk home. In addition, the student might need to tell the parents something that they forgot such as a club after school. If policy 2 was the rule then they would not be able to tell them and the parents might worried wondering where their child is.
