[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate smart watches- they are always on, and it’s hard to ignore the always there notifications. They are also much harder for teachers to police. Phones are so much easier to put away! We gave our kids a phone before 7th and have no regrets. But we have them very locked down (no safari, no downloading apps). Once they got to high school we loosened things up. We have always said that their texts are fair game and they shouldn’t be texting stuff they don’t want their parents to read. (Anyone can screenshot anything and send it to anyone. They are not private). So we do check those intermittently.[/quote] We put our daughter's watch in "Schooltime" mode during the day and she sets it to charge in the kitchen after she gets home, has never been an issue.[/quote]
