[quote=Anonymous]My wife would like to give my 6th-grade daughter a smart phone, but in my view all that she needs is a flip-phone that allows her to send texts. This is sufficient so that we can communicate with her when she is at events or sports practices after school. I'm worried that a smart phone will be a distraction while at school. I realize that there are phones like Bark that whose features can be controlled by parents, but, if we were to use Bark, I would simply turn off the data plan most of the time, thereby reducing it to a text-only phone. Curious for your thoughts on this issue -- for a 6th grader, what type of phone is appropriate? Is a text-only phone sufficient? [/quote]
