text: Even if we just got to have them out during lunch, that would be great too! Students try to text secretly behind the teacher's backs, but that would change if we were actually allowed to have our phones out during certain times. They would just wait until free time to text people. I do believe that there should still be certain standards, like if you are not using a cell phone properly, it can be taken away. Also if you even see a phone in the classroom, the teacher should be able to take it away and give it back after school is over.
