text: I think you should use policy 1 for several reasons. If someone needs a ride after school and there are no cell phones, there will be no way to communicate with your parents or get any help. Cell phones should be turned off in class though. I see many people with their phones under their desks and that is not okay. That is a distraction from getting your learning that your teacher works hard on showing you. Though cell phone use is inappropriate in class, it should be okay to use them during lunch. Lunch is your free time, you should be able to do any thing you want.
