text: I don't think that you should make a rule that the students shouldn't be able to bring their phones to school for many reasons. I, for one, believe that children can be responsible if there are known consequences. If you are debating to not have phones at school because they might be texting, or using their phones to cheat during class then make a strict rule for it. You could say, that if a teacher finds you using your phone in class then there will be no warning it will just be taken away. If kids know that there will be a consequence then they will usually not break the rules.
