It's not a great idea, but you could lower your screen's brightness and mute the sound.

Question

How do I text in class when my teacher roams around?

Community Answer

Wait until she is far away from you and has her back turned. When she is helping another student is the perfect time to do it, but keep the consequences of getting caught in mind, and do this sparingly.

Question

How can I listen to music in class without getting caught?

Community Answer

Try putting your headphones in your jacket or sleeve, and lie your head near your sleeve or jacket hole. Or put it in your ear and hide it if you have long hair.

How do I take pictures during class if I sit by the teacher?

Make sure the teacher is not sitting at his/her desk or standing behind you. Stand a textbook or large book up and take the photo behind it.

Question

How can I play on my phone in class?

Community Answer

Just be careful, it depends on the teacher you have. Make sure it's one who doesn't really pay attention to the class. Then use your phone under your desk or behind a book.

Question

I have a white/gold phone. What do I do?

Community Answer

Try getting a darker case in order to disguise it under the table. This will make it a lot harder to spot.

If you have a jacket on, slide it real quick under your sleeve, but make it look normal.

Question

How can I text in class if I'm in elementary school?

Community Answer

Hide your phone behind a book or pretend to look in your backpack for something. You can also try texting in the bathroom at recess. Teachers are smart though, so if you choose to try and text in class, be prepared to deal with the consequences if you are caught.

Question

What do I do if I'm texting in class and my teacher hears me?

Community Answer

I'd recommend saying that one of your parents is texting you, they'll usually allow you to go out of class to reply and see an answer. However, there's always a chance they might ask to see your phone, so do this at your own risk.

Question

What if I want to play on the computer?

Community Answer

There is no way to do that since most games are easy to spot and it will be hard to get away with. Maybe on your free time during recess if you need to work on something, then you can just get that done and play afterward.

Bring a sweater or a jacket, but don't wear it. Put your tablet in there and hold it. Be careful to not drop it or forget you have it in there.

With a bright colored phone case such as pink, how can I hide the phone from my teacher when sneaking it out in class?

Remove the phone case and just use the phone as it is darker in color. No guarantees, teachers know all the signs of texting.

How do I send pictures in class when the teacher is around?

Put your phone behind a textbook and snap a quick photo from there. Or if you have an Apple watch, you can place your phone camera in the direction you want to take the picture in and go to photos app and take a picture from there.

Question

What do I do if the teacher asks me what I am doing?

Community Answer

It's easy to make up a lie, so try your best just to keep your phone hidden and out of reach from her/him and try your best just to say "I am doing the worksheet you told us to do" or something along that line.
