text: Also by choosing policy 1 you are telling your students that you trust them. You are giving them the responsibility to turn off their phones. Although I do firmly believe that cell phones should be treated as a privilege and not a toy. Therefore if students are not turning off their phones, disrupting class, and being a class distraction, I believe that it's your duty to take away that cell phone privilege. Only returning to policy 1 when you believe that they can handle it.
