text: I think the principal should go with policy 1, students may use their cell phones during lunch and other free times, but have them turned off during class. There are many reasons why i agree with this. One of those reasons is because if one of your family members is in the hospital. If anyone in my family was in the hospital and someone else in my family was there, i would want them to call me or text to keep me updated on what is happening to them.
