text: I also think its a good idea because use them during free time could be great for us students because during that free time we could text our parents and let them know if they need to pick us up after school or we are riding the bus home. Also we could tell them if we have after school activities and they don't need to pick us up after them are over. Which this would be so much easier for parents because we aren't telling them at the last minute that we need picked up after school because we missed the bus or we just need picked up because we are reminding them that we do so they don't forget all about it.
