I'd say it is critical due to the fact that it is critiquing text by saying the pros and cons about it
Answer:
The tone of the article is critical
Explanation:
The author starts by introducing texting, the context in which is taking place and what it's being used for. This introduction then leads to the main point the author will try to make: that texting distracts students from learning. Now, the article's critic is only valid, though not necessarily true, because the author mentions the texting is occurring in a high school.
