text: School is to go to learn, not text with or call anyone. During lunch, you can have conversations with people by speaking with them in person. What other school do you think has students allowed to text. If there is a rule that students cannot walk around in the cafeteria of Home Room, you should lift that rule. If you give them the opportunity to use cell phones in school, there is a large chance that students will not obey that rule. They will end up pulling out their cell phones during class.
