text: If you went with Policy 2 and banned all cell phones from school, you would have to deal with students texting in class and bringing their phones to school anyway. I think you should go with Policy 1 instead of Policy 2 because at least Policy 1 allows the students to have some cell phone time, but if a students grades were dropping because of the cell phone rule than I think you should talk to the student and the students parents and discipline that student and not the whole school.
