text: Having some time to use your phone is better than not being allowed to use it at all. I am a strong believer that kids should be able to use their phones at least during their free time during school. The only time students have to relax for a little while during school hours is lunch, and they don't really have the freedom to do what they please, especially if they are going to be playing around. I think that if students are given the opportunity to use their phones during lets say, lunch hours, then they will be at least a little less hyper or uncontrollable.
