text: I would choose policy 1. Because if students weren't allowed to have phones at school it could also cause possible problems. If their parent was trying to get a hold of them before school was out to ask them to pick up their younger sibling or tell them where they were going and where the spare house key would be. They could call the school, but the phone could be busy. Or the office could forget to tell them. The student could also find out that they had a meeting after school that they would have to attend. If they were in sports they could have switched a home game to an away game, that their parents had planned going to and watching.
