text: Another reason that I feel policy #1 should go into affect instead of policy #2 is that when kids at school aren't allowed to bring phones to school, kids won't have phones going to and from school. For some kids, those times when they leave school are the reason why they even have cell phones; they have them so that they can contact their parents if they have a sudden change in after school plans such as tutoring or practice for sports or fine arts. Having phones in school makes it much more convenient for students who need their phones to contact people for these reasons.
