text: On the other hand, another reason why I don't think you should let us kids have our cell phones is because it will distract from someone learning and that is what school is all about. If someone had their phone they would most likely text one of their friends. Therefore they are distracted from the lesson the teacher is trying to teach and they will not get what is going on in that class. Also I have seen people text each other answers to a test. This is very common for students to do because they do not know what is going on because during that lesson they were to busy on their phone or just being distracted. Texting another person the answers to a test or quiz is cheating.
