[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like a very reasonable policy. And also, I really don’t care whether my kids are “left out” by not having a phone. These devices are so distracting and can really screw up academic performance, and also cause serious mental health problems in teenagers. Fortunately for us not only is our K-8 device-free, but most of the parents have signed a pledge not to give their kids phones while they attend the school, so that significantly cuts down on the peer pressure.[/quote] You think you don't care now, but you might care when it's time and the consequences are happening. For some kids this matters, for some it doesn't. I think you're being very naive to believe in these pledges and school policies. They're really not enforceable. Parents of little kids will say what's socially expected of them, but what people actually do when it's time to choose can be quite different.[/quote]
