text: Last but not least, If a student is texting in class, they are not doing their school work. You cant do two things at once. Cell phones make students pay attention to the wrong thing. They are very disturbing and should not be allowed at school. It can cause student to fail tests and get bad grades on their class assignments. Although some students may be able to contain a phone in school and be quite respectful, not all students are the same. This is why I think you shouldn't acknowledge us to bring our cell phones on campus at all.
