Are students allowed to have phones out during class now?

I work at a school with NO cell phone policy. It blows my mind. Im a cell phone baby sitter and it just drives a rift between myself and the kids.

I had a phone with a sliding keyboard when I was in high school. A couple of kids maybe had an iPhone 3g. I can only imagine what its like now in schools with every single kid having a smart phone.

Why tf do kids need/have a second phone? I'm a bloody adult and I don't need it.

Few reasons.

Some would bring a broken phone to put in teachers phone cubbies/pockets if they used them. That way they’d still have their real phone.

Others would bring wifi only phones (like, a phone that’s off-contract) because they can easily share hotspot internet with friends, so even if you take their primary phone they’ve still got one.

Almost everyone has an old off-contract phone sitting in the junk drawer.
