text: I really don't think phones are a problem at school because most of the people that use them have very good grades. People who don't pay attention in all their classes (me, cell phone users) still ace the subject. (Even though I'll have to pay attention in high school.) Cell phone are not a distraction in class they are just a fun little device to get one's mind off things. I can still listen to my teacher blabbing on while I watch my friend texting.
