[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I despise them, as I've seen lots of examples of kids constantly distracted by incoming texts. This is outside of school, but I've heard from my kids that the watches are not really locked down. We did phones in 7th for my older two, which were easy to put in a drawer, not attached to their bodies, and easy to lock down. For my youngest who will want more freedom earlier, I'm considering a flip phone in 5th grade. Then he could text me when going to friends' houses or other places[/quote]+1 My repeated experience is that kids are always preoccupied with their Apple watch. Super duper distracting and it makes it hard for them to focus on anything, including homework and healthy social interactions. -- Mom of 7th grader[/quote]
