Which is not a surprise for reasons which are evident if you think. The kids who are there because of parental pressure (not all of them but, if I recall correctly and things haven't changed, a surprising number) really can't afford to fail.

It's not really because of the cell phones, though. If it wasn't cell phones it'd be graphing calculators, or "write on your arm", or, as happened repeatedly my sophomore year, the old "set a fire in the bathroom and delay the test!" trick.

Nearly froze my butt off, repeatedly, because somebody pulled that trick. Repeatedly.
