text: I also think that if you have your cell phone in class and it goes off and interrupts the class it should be took for a week or two and then your parents can come and get it back from you .That is because it will teach them not to bring it in class or it will get took for a couple of weeks and most kids that have phones use them all the time and they know how hard it is to go with out them . So there for they know that if they bring it to class and it goes off they wont be able to talk to there friends except for in school and if they have a house phone to call people on . So maybe if you enforce this policy most intelligent kids will not bring there phones to class except for if they are put up and also off. So maybe if you do that you wont have to get rid of phones totally at the school you just have to make sure phones are off when kids step in the class and also make sure they are put away .
