text: The reason cellular phones were made was to converse with your friends and family. The reason school was made was to educate you and help you later on in life. Phones and school do not mix well. The students interacting through the text messages or phone calls will be more concentrated on their conversation. You can communicate with your friends outside of school instead of inside. In Policy 1 the students would be allowed to use their phones at lunch but the person(s) they are conversing with might be in the same lunch as them or in class at the time, so there is no real point in text messaging them over the phone when you can go talk to them during lunch or when you pass by them in the hallway.
