I am right THERE with you Laine. Especially if you are going to put the word in all caps you should know the difference between there and their.
Do yourself a favor, Sam. When you get in college and it is necessary to pay attention the entire lecture- don’t text.

Of course it is your choice. You have a very biased opinion though Sam. Just wait until you get to university and you must listen for the entire time the prof is teaching because if you dont you will definately miss something.
I believe texting and Facebooking during class distracts both the student and the students around them. No doubt there are negative implications of this.

okay so i read what you said and i dont agree with it. if students choose to text during school then its THERE choice. I am currently a junior in high school about to be a senior(CLASS OF 09!) and i choose to text during school and still get all A’s and B’s. It should be the students choice. Teachers freak out about it but if they choose to text they either dont care or they know the stuff so there not going to pay attention. I personally listen to what my teacher has to say and then I start texting. It shouldn’t matter to adults or anyone else. I pay for my own phone(both minutes and texting) so it should be my choice,

Texting during class is likewise a serious problem here in the Philippines. I hope in the future school authorities will have a lasting solution to this problem.
