text: another reason i think you shouldn't use your 2nd policy is because that the students might try to bring them any way and if you took it they would get there parents to come and talk with you giving students a little freedom at school is important to them. and letting them bring there phone is probably the easiest ( and probably cheapest) way to do that. i think its important to students like me to get this privilege at school some students might respect you more if you gave them this opportunity.
