text: Your first policy sounds a lot more plausible and lenient to me than the second policy. School's shouldn't take phones away from the students. It'll only cause us to be more angry and use them further. If you suggest a less strict rule such as "Allowing students to bring phones to school and use them during lunch periods and other free times." I believe it will encourage the kids to only use cell phones during those times, or at least use them less frequently during class hours.
