text: The first policy allows students to have cell phones out during times when they are not studying or learning, and would be very useful for the kids. In the situation described earlier, the student would just be able to take out their cell phone and turn it on, then call their parent or guardian to take them home. The situation would become much easier. The student's learning habits would not be harmed either, as long as they follow the rules and do not turn their cell phone on during class. If they do happen to have their cell phone on during class, then certain punishments may be necessary for the kids to not do this again. One punishment may be to temporarily take away the cell phone or reduce their grade in that class. There are even more situations that this policy could be useful in as well. If a student has an emergency with no way of getting to a phone, then the student could just take out their mobile phone and call whoever they have to. In this situation, the mobile phone could be a huge help or even a life-saver.
