No parent wants think their kids are cheating. I am sure schools are aware of this but what can they do? Do schools install devices that disable cell phones like Hospitals during test times?

I know they shut off cell signals in the radiology departments so you don't interfere with the tests

The only thing I could see though is if you have another Columbine situation and the phones are shut down and noone can call out incase of emergency...Just a thought, but I didnt have a cell phone in school and I dont think the future of our world should be filled with techno cheaters...

The highschool I went to had disruptors down every hall. The only place you had signal was the lobby outside of the office, or in the parking lot. Wasn't ever really an issue, and if an emergency call had to be made, the people responsible (The office workers were designated.) could take two steps out the door and make a call.

Do you feel special? I think someone needs to quit cheating and learn how to spell.

i think having a cell phone in school is NOT disruptive...it's more disruptive/annoying if the teacher says "put the phone away" then everyone looks at you..the teacher should ignore it, if you want to text and not pay attention for two seconds it's your responsibility. :-)

That's so right. If someone is not paying attention, teachers should just leave them and let them fail the tests. It's the teachers responsibility to go over the material and not baby-sit the students.

i think teachers need to incorporate cell phone technology in the class room... like if a department were to purchase a PSMS short code and incorporate texting when you are finished with the reading or the first one to text the correct answer wins... something like that.. a cell phone can be vital to education is used properly.
