text: If you think about it, it might just be a waste of time and energy trying to enforce such an extreme policy if students are not going to obey it anyway. But if you choose Policy 1, and have a little talk with the students telling them that they can still text their friends, but just between classes and during breaks, I think they will understand. I know I would. Of course i would punish them if they did text during class, but not in the hallways or at lunch. It's not extremely binding, but somewhat limiting, which is O.K. I mean, we're with all our friends anyway!
