text: I believe that all the students can be trusted with this idea to always keep their phone off during class sections. If some students decide not to follow this, then you can not allow them at all. Cell phones to me should be allowed, but only if all students can be trusted. Each student will try their best to not use it during class sections, but only during lunch and other free time at school. Every student wants to use them during school hours and have the trust they are given to use them and be respectful not to steal other peoples cell phones when they are being used.
