text: Policy one states, students are allowed to bring cell phones to school and only use them during lunch and passing period but phones have to be turned off during class time. Policy two states, students are not allowed to have cell phones at all. Policy two is a better choice because have a cell phone can be extremely distracting to students and maybe even teachers. School is a department of education to learn new things and life long skills. Students also might get hurt texting on a phone they will be to busy to pay attention to a flight of stairs two steps away. If you decide policy one you might have complaints about cell phones ringing during the middle of class which does not just alarm the owner but also the rest of the class.
