text: I think that you should allow Policy 1 for our school. Policy 1 is having phones at school but not using them during class periods. Students should be able to have cell phones. Every student has a right to bring a cell phone, but they won't use them during class because that's not one of their rights. Cell phones can be used as an emergency. If a student has an emergency, they cant use their cell phone because of Policy 2. If you consider Policy 1, then a student will be able to use their phone if an emergency occurred. If a student comes home alone and they see an unfamiliar car in their drive way or something, they can't use their phone because you wouldn't let them due to Policy 2. With Policy 1, the student can call their parents or parent and tell them and the parents would tell them what to do.
