text: If you make this a privilege then that means you can take it away. I think you probably should make this a privilege instead of a rule. If kids are getting caught texting in class or texting when they shouldn't be then you should take their phone away and take away that privilege if there are many students doing that even though they were told not to. Kids or teenagers usually like to disobey the rules. If they are told many times to stop texting in class then you should take away the privilege and tell them not to bring their phones to school.
