text: I understand that you're considering changing the school cell phone policy. I've read each policy and firmly believe in the first one stating: "Allow students to bring phones to school and use them during lunch periods and other free times as long as the phones are turned off during class time." I agree with this because the reason cell phones aren't allowed in the first place is that students seem to use them during class time which is distracting not only to them but to other classmates as well. Letting students use their phones in a lunch or free period would not give them the need to use their phones in a class period, however it would not cause a distraction or problem. With this policy, student's phones will be turned off during class time anyway.
