text: Policy 1 should be chosen because at school students are concentrating and working hard all day. They only get one hour of brake (lunch) and four minutes between each class (passing period). While they are on brake it would be nice if they could take out their phone and be able to text or do whatever they want. As long as they are completely off in the classroom. The only reason students aren't aloud to have phones during school is to prevent cheating (during lunch and passing periods, cheating really isn't an issue.) and to keep the phone from ringing and disrupting the class. If they had their phones during brakes and the teacher made sure the phone was completely off during class time, then it would not be an issue.
