text: Letting the students have their phones out during lunch or free time is a better solution for the phone problem because, not as many students will be sent to the office for phone issues. Most of the time when a student is seen with a phone the teacher takes it. The student is then angry and ready to fight back for their property. As the teacher and student fight back and fourth the teacher then decides to send the student out for talking back and being disrespectful. Not only now do you have a child who is mad because they lost their phone but is in more trouble for being rude.
