[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are holding off on phones for our kids as long as we can....but we are noticing that the real pressure towards getting phones is less the peer pressure and more that adults (teachers/ club leaders) assuming they have access to one and assigning things/ communicating accordingly.[/quote]

Wrong. Don't blame the teachers. FCPS gives laptops to every student -- teachers can communicate through Schoology. The "real pressure" doesn't come from teachers. Parent up.[/quote]

I am parenting up.  My kids don't have phones even though a LOT of their peers do.  I stand by what I said.  The biggest pressure comes from adults who assume they do!![/quote]

You think kids have cell phones because THE TEACHERS expect them to? What kind of delulu land are you living in? If it’s the teacher’s fault then why did 21 of my 25 5th graders have cell phones in their backpacks? They can’t use them at school. I’m certainly not contacting them on it. And almost all have a better iPhone than I do. [/quote]
