text: Negative: Some students would try to abuse this power so it would be best to have some type of limitation to this policy. During class time if you are caught with your cell phone out I think the student should be given a warning. It would be ok for a teacher to take the phone away if a warning has already been administered to the student unless the phone was off. If the phone was out and it was sited out then i think it should not be taken but to just tell the student to put it away.
