[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I plan on getting my kid a dumb phone once they can drive. No need beforehand. Being a social outcast builds characrter.[/quote] I'm a long way away from this, but we've signed a pledge not to give our kindergartener a phone or social media access the entire time she's at her Catholic K-8. When we get to high school the most I would do would be a dumbphone or whatever equivalent to a LightPhone exists at that time. Apparently it includes a camera, driving directions, texting, and voice, which is all that my kids need. Full-functionality smartphones are a huge distraction and will only drag down my child's grades. [/quote]
