text: Another reason why having a functional mobile at school would be nice to have: a ride. I forgot I had basketball practice at the gym after school and what should I do? You can simply call your ride and telling them they need to come later. What if your ride was your mom and you didn't have your phone because you didn't want any phones in your school? Well I can almost imagine what will happen next: my mom comes to pick me up, she doesn't find me, and every mom's first reaction to this mishap will be, "MY SON/DAUGHTER HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED!" This "exciting" commotion happened because you decided to go with Policy 2.
