[QUOTE="Subsonic, post: 1595857, member: 232"] There are downsides to that on the extremely rare occasion that there is an emergency but I have family members that are teachers and they talk about it being a distraction. Kids texting throughout class not paying attention. They hide the phones in their pockets and are able to type that way and then glance at it when they can. Nothing wrong with calling somebody between classes but shouldn't be a distraction like that during class. No kids. When I was in Afghanistan, I always laughed when we rolled by people and our DUKE system cut off their cell phone service or we would turn it on when we were stationary when we saw somebody talking on their cell. Cheap entertainment. [/QUOTE]
