A-ROLL Many kids have come to wonder why teachers are so strict on why there is to be no texting in classes. Is it so others around the texter are not getting distracted or so that the texter is not distracted from their schooling? Trevor: As long as it is not effecting the learning environment then there is no reason that kids should be able to text. Students do not see why if it doesn’t affect people around them then what is the problem with texting in school. The opinion of some parents was surprising as it was different from teachers.  Michelle: I as a parent do not care if my children text in school. If they are getting their work done and have good grades then what does it matter? Kids should be allowed to text in school as long as they are at a good standing grade in their classes. Mrs. Thompson: I think that it is rude to both us the teachers and also to other kids around. Thus making a easy solution to it all and just not allowing kids to text in the classroom. Is texting something that will continue to not be allowed in the classroom or with more students texting in class will this be a rule that will soon no longer be enforced?
