text: The usages of cell phones in classes however would not be good. because kids can use them to cheat on tests with each other, text during class and not being able to pay attention to what is being taught. Overall i think that students should only be allowed to use cell phones during free periods and not academic classes because in certain classes we are there to learn and not to fool around and use our cell phones. Certain times during the day it should be okay to use a cell phone but some parts you also have to buckle down and do what you have to do in order to succeed in life!!
