What can be inferred about the writer's view of policy?
Some schools have banned mobile phones during lessons; others allow them for set tasks such as looking up a word. Supporters of a ban argue that a phone on the desk draws attention away from the lesson, even when it stays silent. Opponents reply that students will meet phones everywhere outside school, so they must learn when to use them and when to put them away. A few schools take a middle path: phones are stored in a bag during lessons but may be used at break time. Whatever the policy, most teachers agree that it must be applied consistently to every class.
