text: Cell phones at school provide a way of communicating with other students. Say that OTHER_NAME was trying to find his best friend RELATIVE_NAME at school. Well, all OTHER_NAME would have to do is send RELATIVE_NAME a text asking him where he was. Then, RELATIVE_NAME could simply reply that he was out by the fountain at the front of the school, so OTHER_NAME could meet him there. Another scenario where your cell phone could be used at school, is if one of your friends is at home, sick, that way you could text them their assignments after each period. These are just a few ways that cell phones can be used for communication at school.
