text: Many of students that would say yes to having there phones out during free time are kids that are always texting in and out of school. If I were to have my phone out in class the teacher would probably take it away and might even call my mom/dad but that's what i have to pay for texting in school and it should stay like that. The school makes up a lot of rules but that's only to keep us from not doing our work that is necessary to pass our classes and the grade.
