text: Take it from a student, most rules are broken so I really doubt students aren't going to stop bringing their phones to school for example in our school gum isn't allowed but students continue to bring gum and chew it in school the rules and the detention doesn't stop them. But if you make something reasonable and fair maybe the usage of phone doing school hours will stop. It's 2011 thing are changing many teens and now kids have phones. I'm pretty sure the reason their parents bought it for them is for communication, with them I may add. So if you take that away who will they be able to communicate during a emergency. Yes some students misuse their ability to use phones but you shouldn't everyone.
