text: One of the most important reasons you should decide on Policy 1 is because, teenagers don't listen. Sure you could go with Policy 2, but how many of them are actually going to abide by it? Whether you want them to or not, students will have their cell phones out. Either in class or at lunch they will not willingly follow Policy 2. They will find ways to sneak around and use them, so why not go ahead and give the a time and place to do it? If you give them times they can, they will be less willing to disobey the policy later. They will be grateful for the time allotted and will use it wisely.
