text: I also don't think we should have cell phones in school because what happens if someone is taking a test and the other person texting you tells you all the answers? Then you are in big trouble, not just from your teacher but also from your parents. Texting in school is bad because you get off track, don't pay attention to the teacher, or you may even cheat. School is where you learn not where you text people. Plus you can see all your friends in school, so why do you even need to text them during school. Just leave your phone at home and you can get it when you are going home. I understand if you are in sports and you have to stay after school or you have no ride home that day.
