Sounds like Amish country would be a good fit.

Your idea, go ahead you can move there. Enjoy.

I can't even begin to tell you the benefits of not having a phone at school. The list is too long. She never asked and we never bothered. For parents who are worried, the students will be fine without a phone at school. If they need you to contact you, they have the main office phone in the school.

The main office cannot handle 2000 or more students regularly using their phones. She probably has an iPad or something else. If they are so bad why are you getting her one. Your post makes no sense. I only see the benefits of having one. B

2000 or more students don’t need to use the phone everyday.

Unless that school calls a lockdown and students are frightened as shit not knowing what the F is happening but are hearing of b in their school, with military guards and k-9s, military tankers outside their building. all for which the district has yet to provide an explanation to those students, staff and families for the level of MILITARY (yes that is in fking caps) response at a high school!

To get on a military base, you need to show an id. Why is that a bad thing? Maybe they need to learn from the military on safety.

One of the stupider posts I've ever read. The offices have handled kids not having phones from the beginning of time until about 9 years ago.

My kid is a rising 7th grader and likewise has never had a phone or smart watch. Glad to hear this is sustainable into high school.

It will become normalized to NOT have a phone or ton have a phone with severe restrictions in the near future. The effects on children's development have been severe.
