text: Texting or calling in school is a big distraction for their education in school. A person can live if they don't text or call for at least eight or ten hours can't they? If they could then why bring a phone to school if you know the teacher is going to take it from you. I mean I don't want to lose my one hundred twenty dollar phone to the school or drop it and not even know i did these are some two reasons why i wouldn't want to bring my phone to the school.
