text: Kids will not learn as good if their constantly on their cell phone during class. kids will be texting each other and playing games. Another reason why it is so bad is that the students could easily text an answer of a question, on like a test or class work and the kids would be cheating. the principle will get in trouble by the parents because their child cheated with another person when they actually didn't learn anything because the thought the could just get an answer from someone that was in the same class and the only way they can do that is if they're allowed to have cell phones in school.
