I think that text messaging students has its ups and downs. Yes, you can text the students up-dates, wake-up calls, what ever. But, parents would not appeciate the children using cell phones in class when they are supposed to be learning. Some parents would not understand the use of the cell phones and only see cell phones as a nuisance and a way for students to do something other than be in class. If you let the students have their cell phones in class, they will more than likely use them during class time. Other teachers and principals will become upset and angry about the situation with cell phones. In my high school we were allowed to have our cell phones on us but they had to be on silent and we could not get them out during class time.
