Students may even think that , since the teachers and principal are letting us take the advantage of using our cell phones at lunch or a free period , then we should show them that we are really grateful and satisfied by working more and improving well . They might even reward you with something because this doesn't often happen at many schools. Some schools are zero tolerance and very strict.
