Texting in the Classroom

2/26/2008
This happens every day in every classroom across America, kid texting. Even though most schools or teachers have rules against cell phones in the classroom students disobey authority and text anyways. Although technology may be helpful to teachers in some aspects, cell phones and the latest advances in communication such as texting has caused headaches and set backs in the classroom. Texing is distracting to other students as well as the teacher. Also students use a differnt language when they text, abreviations and incorrect capitolization used in text messaging carries over into formal writting assignments in the classroom.
