text: I think policy 2 is the best one because students shouldn't be allowed to have cell phones at school it take your whole focus off of school. When you are in class in your phone is on and one of your friends text you , you are going to stop what you are doing just to look at that text message you are taking your mind off of the lesson in class. Phones can also be a detraction to others, if you forgot to put your phone on vibrate and the ringer go off in class the teacher would have to stop the class and take up your phone and the students will be looking at you. Phones can get you in a lot of trouble like taking a serious test and if you get caught with it you can fail or be retained in that same grade, phones should be banned or taking up for the school hours. Most students be to concern about their phone that they'll fail , and phones can also start a lot of trouble you can start a rumor at school about someone just by sending a text message to one of your friends. When you can't use phones at school it can prevent a whole bunch of mess from happen at school , you wont get in much trouble with your parents because you did not want to give the teacher your phone when you shouldn't have brought it to school in the first place , save you time from going to in house school suspension , or getting a ticket.
