text: I'm going to be straight and to the point, our students should be able to use their phones during free time and lunch periods, I do first agree that it has become a big enough problem to do something about the cell phones, but doing a way with them is not good idea it was already a rule not to use them during class, but they use them anyway what would a policy saying to never bring your phones to school do, we don't have the man power or time, or even rights to search them and no doubt a majority will still bring them anyway and disrupt class and their own learning, but if give them two times within the day when no learning is taking place to text or talk on the phone this will give time the time they need to get their socializing out before schooling.
