text: Besides being more focused on what your learning, think about others and how they could be distracted with your use of a cell phone. Cell phones may go off randomly during class disrupting you from reading or disturbing you from solving a math problem. Suppose a student is texting during class, it would be very difficult to try to read while someone besides you constantly keep pushing buttons on to their phone instead of working. If your taking a test also, many people think texting during the test will get them the answers from certain people, and if you have your phone on you, you may be tempted to text or someone may text you for answers, very disturbing.
