I suspect they can text without looking at their phones -- I know kids could with physical T9 keypads. Having your phone in your lap while looking forward isn't as obvious as staring at your lap is.

A big reason is that parents read kids' text messages. If there is no text message sent, there is nothing for your parents to find.

I can only assume that this is either allowed (implicitly or explicitly) or this is in schools where teachers are so overloaded that any sort of message passing would probably go unpunished anyway.
