text: I may remind myself that I also like to use my cell phone too. I encourage you to let students bring their cell phones, but turn them off during school hours. Such as being in class. Texting, I think, is a great solution instead of talking on the phone. But, talking may be faster for some people. I for one, like to text whenever I can. But, I usually don't text that often, unless I need to speak with one of my parents or siblings. That, I think, is why students should only text whenever they can. But, as you may have noticed, some students don't have cell phones.
