If U R txting N class, U R not paying attn. Period. Although most schools ban cell phone use in classrooms, new research administered by California app developer textPlus revealed that 42.5% of 600 teens surveyed admitted they do it "sometimes" or "constantly" anyway. Almost 80% report they have never been caught. LOL? No.
