The newly unforced cellphone policy

At my school we have been having a lot of problems with students using their cell phones when inappropriate for for inappropriately. I understand that it's not fair to teachers at the school or even the innocent students like myself who are not involved with these incidents.but I do not like the fact that they are just now deciding to finally enforce this rule we keep calling it a new rule because of the fact that we're so used to being allowed to use our phones in the hallway in between classes. I understand that cell phone usage in a classroom is prohibited at the school but when I am in the hallway in between classes I have five minutes but I should be allowed to use my phone. I'm not in a class, I'm not with a teacher, and I am on a college campus and should be treated as if I am a college student. I may be a high school student on a college campus but if my teachers are going to sit there and tell us that we need to do college work and stress appropriately for the college and do everything as if we are college students I should have the same freedoms as any student attending the school. Yes I know that students abuse the privilege of teachers looking the other way remain the hallways even though we're not supposed to be on our phones and letting us but not everybody should be punished because one or two students.stated earlier I am a high school student and a college campus having a cell phone is a sense of security yes it is used for pleasure but the fact that I I am on a college campus with actual college students and most a lot older than me I feel safe knowing that I can easily pull the phone out of my pocket is in dangerous situation. Nowadays you never know who could be a bad guy. So many strangers in a place and at a time you maybe walking to class alone for whatever reason.
