 Cell phones are handy for class because you can use them as resources to help you with your studies. Let’s say you don’t have a book but you need to have one, you can go on the web browser on your phone and search for the book and read it on there until the next time you do bring it.  If you forget something and really need it a text can be sent and that person can bring you what you need so you can get by in your class.

 There’s a chance that a fourth of the class could be on their phones doing other things that doesn’t involve schoolwork. Many students may feel that a class is very boring and would like to switch to their phone for a distraction. They may be more interested in something else and could possibly be failing the class because they simply don’t pay attention. Their phone may feel more important and entertaining at the moment and class could wait.
