text: Cell phones have always been a problem at schools , even when they first came out. Policy 1 sounds like a particularly good idea because , one , students sometimes text during classes and school because they know they're not supposed to and doing so makes them feel like a rebel and like they have power. On the other hand , policy 2 would just eliminate the problem straight forward. making texting during a class impossible. Another thought , going back to policy 1 , is that if students could text during passing periods and lunch periods they may not have the need to want to text during class because they are being able to text during the school day.
