text: Lastly, with the subject of their education, if students have their cell phones out during class, it can cause to cheating. If a quiz or a test is taking place, students can easily whip their phones out of their pockets and text their friends the answers to the problems. That, I think, is totally not acceptable. Also, there are tools on a cell phone that a student can use to cheat on their assignments or tests. They can use their calculator in math when they are not supposed to, or they can use a dictionary to look up a word or definition when a calculator is not needed. A cell phone will not also affect their education, but it can help cheat with it also.
