text: So these are my reason why schools should allow kids to play sports and help out in schools.      I think Policy Two, the policy stating that students are not allowed to use phones at school at all, is a safer and better policy than Policy One. Cell phones are used to communicate with friends. Why is there a need to communicate with your friends over the phone if you are already with them at school? If students were allowed to use phones during their free time, they might use the phones for ways other than communication with their friends. Some negative ways students could use their phones are: communicating with friends about the answers to tests without a teacher hearing them, or calling their parents to come pick them up from school. If cell phone usage was banned completely, principals and teachers would not have those problems.
