text: Also, if the kid wants to use they're cell phone to show his/her friend a really cool recording of his best friends band! Or if they want to call they're father that they never see or get to talk to, but school time is the only time he isn't at work so he can answer. What's the problem with that? There is no harm done whatsoever! Or, maybe they just want to take a picture of his friends to put on 'face book' or one of those shindig websites. I don't see what the problem is as long as it isn't done during class time. When the students walk into class, teacher's should check if the cell phone is off, just to prove that the kid isn't texting or playing games on his/her phone during the time that they are supposed to be learning.
