text: Some kids/ teenagers don't even have phones yet. They either got them stolen, taken from their parents, or just cant afford one. I myself have a phone but i get it taken from my parents if i am disrespectful or if use bad language. As i was saying if many kids tend to disrespect your policy of giving them a privilege to have their phones out during the day then take their phone away and take away the privilege. Also if kids are doing that too then tell your students to leave their phones at home and band their phones from coming on school campus.
