Cell phone policy

Ok another issue in our high school! now this one does not effect me that much at all! the only part i think is annoying is that when im in the hall and i take my phone out to check the time, send a text about if we are getting out early, etc. i dont see why they have to take the phones out of the hallways too?? during pass time? i can sorta see during class time cause your texting someone in class but all the time? Besides its not like kids dont use them anyways! ha once you get it taken its still the same! 1st you pick it up 2nd your parents do 3rd they keep it?? i also dont agree with that!! but oh well they are trying to keep kids off their phone i guess.....
