text: If students get the chance to text at school in lunchtime they should earn it as long as they behave good. The phones shouldn't be turned on while in class because then it would get in the way of there studying and their class work also. To me policy 1 is the best way to go, policy 2 is not the best way to go with because what if an emergency or some other thing happened how will they contact you or you contact your parents. That is one reason another reason is students have the authority to be able to use there phone, why cant they I know it gets in the way of there class work but they might need it some day in the future in case of an emergency. But there phone also gets in the way of there studying and of there work so that is the backside to it, but students should be able to use there phones no matter what happens.
