text: Another reason that policy 2 is better is because policy one would make it difficult for some students to learn. If kids had it out in their free time it could just be when they are done with their work, but some kids could still be working. this would cause a distraction. Also if somebody has their phone out when the teacher is trying to teach students would be focussed on them not the teacher. Then students wouldn't learn anything ,and isn't that the whole purpose of school is to learn something.
