MPS high school phone policy

The Issue

what if there is a fire? lockdown? power goes off? phones are gonna be gone and there is going to be no communication. what if someone steals them? school is gonna probably be doing nothing about it. pay for phones stolen? no. i’m not risking my phone getting stolen or something. i have to keep it on me in case of emergency. the only kids that should get it taken are the ones that are disrespectful. teachers and staff dint know what is currently going on in kids lives. they need their phone for communication. for lunch, it’s gonna be so dead in the cafeteria and boring. never in my life have i turned in my phone. only once or twice a school year but not on a daily basis. i’m not letting anyone take my cellphone. and i was told i could get suspended cause of that but i know for A FACT that i will not be the only one who will. i’m not gonna turn in my phone. call safety, i’ll put it in my shirt. Dare you to grab it. you won’t, cause if you touch me i’m reporting that. call my mom, do it. she won’t care she told me herself to keep it hidden. i’m going to keep my phone no matter what but i won’t use it in class is it that had to understand? just take it away if someone has it out DURING class. we need it for passing time, and lunch. so what i mean is i’m not going to turn in my phone at all. not even if y’all president tell me to.
