text: Over all, I believe that banning phones from school is a bad idea. None of the students would follow the rule, and they would just bring them to school and hide them. This will get zero progress, and will create no change in the school environment. If you let students text during free time, it could keep students from texting during class, and help them focus more. By distracting the students while they are outside or have free time, it could prevent them from doing something to get them in trouble. And less people would be angry. You would not have angry students or parents coming up to the school to take back a confiscated item, thus not having to bother with any angry people. This is where I stand on the policies, but the final decision is up to you.When you ask for advice, do you ask more than one person. A recent study shows that at least 90% of people that asked more than one person for advice made better choices. When you ask more than one person for advice, I do believe that you will make better choices, because it can give you a gigantic understanding of other peoples opinions, it can help you for the rest of your life, and it can help others succeed in life too.
