text: We should be able to have phones on school but turned off during classes. If we have our phones turned on in class and our parent tries to call us, our ringer may go off. As long as we have the ringers and noises turned off that would be fine as long as we are not texting. If a student drops and breaks their phone, they can't try to sue the school because they weren't being careful or they don't have a case for it.
