text: I believe students should use cell phones during lunch and free time because they tend to sneak using their cell phones in class. If they know they look at it or text someone later then they won't need to use their phone and that would eliminate the distraction of the cell phone in class. When it comes to not handing things in, the students could just call or text their parents in between classes and therefore by handing the assignment in on time the students grades would improve. Even if something comes up and their parents are at work and they need to let them know their not staying after school then they should be able to tell them. What if someone forgot he/ she was having a friend over and needed to be picked up. Now they could just call instead of at the end of the day and have to wait for ten minutes while they waited for the parents pick them up.
