text: I think that giving students a chance to use their phones during lunch period and free times will make them more eager to come to school. Allowing cellular usage will help them to see that you can trust that they will follow the school rules. And making sure they turn their phones off during class to make sure their focused in class is an excellent idea. It gives students the freedom they want, and the chance to communicate with friends and family. Whether its for emergency or recreational purposes, they will be satisfied and grateful for the privilege to use their phones at school. I also think that allowing them to use their phones will help them to get their mind off of school work and help them to relax for a little bit. And when they return to class, their minds will be refreshed and ready to learn something new.
