text: Right now if I was not told to turn off my cell phone before writing this letter and taking this random NAEP examine I would be texting. There for I will have to agree with policy 1, because even thought there are many reasons students should not have cell phones in school there are many more and better reasons why they should. Lets say a student misses there bus or have an activity to do after school. The doors to the school are locked and he can't get inside and he or she lives more than 4 miles away. That is when a cell phone could come in handy.
