[quote=Anonymous]My middle schooler has a non-smartphone but it does have a keyboard and he can call and send texts. He pays the bill himself by working around the house in addition to regular chores. The phone has been EXTREMELY useful for pickup arrangements after school and activities and also lets him keep in touch with friends through texting. However, I was careful to disable the internet and also MMS/pictures sent over the internet. Also, the phone is plugged in in the kitchen and off limits between 9:30 p.m. and 7 a.m. So far this is working well. I can see that a high school kid with a 4.0 could get an iphone -- I totally get that. But I am shocked at the devices that my child's classmates have, both in terms of cost, ability to get on the internet unsupervised, access to games and apps, etc.[/quote]
