text: First off, i would rather accept consequences then leave my phone at home while i go off to school. I also know that most of my fellow students feel the same way. Even now, when phone are supposed to stay in lockers, students rarely follow that rule. the subject of "no phones," is just unacceptable for kids. If phones were taken from children, then resentment toward teachers and grownups in general might start. kids wouldn't believe that the teachers are in for their best interests. most student wouldn't follow policy number two and them who knows what other school policies will be taken for granted.
