text: I believe that policy 1 is better because You should allow students to bring cell phone, and allow them to use it during our free times and during lunch. We can have them off during our class time, so it wouldn't be a distraction. We would use our time wisely for class and when we are done with our free time and/or lunch we would turn them off, and head straight to class. Another reason why students well say to allow cell phones so if something is wrong they can right away text there parents or if there is something wrong and the parents contact them, on our free time we can check our phone and respond to our parents.
