text: The rule for cell phones is always discussed. For the two years I have been at this school I have seen plenty of my peers' cell phones taken away. During class I think enforcing the rule of no cell phones is legitimate. If people have phones out how are they supposed to pay attention during class. With that rule i totally agree with you. But, I might say that I think we should be able to have our phones out before school, passing periods, and lunch. We aren't bugging anyone in class, so i really don't see a problem.
