This year’s new cell phone policy seems excessive, and too strict. The policy claims students are not allowed to have their cellphones out during class hours, even if you are in the hallway, the only time they’re allowed is during lunch or passing periods.

In the prior years, each classroom has had its own set of rules, but now the administrators want every class to have the same rules when it comes to cellphone use. Some of the teachers do not care if we use our cell phones, so I don’t see why it is a school wide rule.

The administrators are going to get overloaded with taking away cellphone’s and I do not think this policy will last as long as they imagine. Once we get to know our teachers and how they often they enforce the rules, we are going to find ways around the new policy.

To me so far this policy is just going to be more of a hassle than anything else for administrators.
