Is this really a controversial "opinion"? I'm pretty sure everyone agrees student cell phone usage is a problem and causes distractions during class. I teach the 4th grade and have to confiscate several phones from my students each week because these kids won't stop playing with them during class. How much of a distraction are cell phones in everyone else's classrooms?
