[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now high school kids can’t even use their phone at lunch. Are you kidding me?? How ridiculous.[/quote]

Did an insecure parent or phone dependent-student start this gripe thread? Hard to know the difference really.  [/quote]

No, a parent with common sense. Kids sometimes need to text their parents and vice versa for whatever reason. It’s not a crime.[/quote]

Somehow in the way back times, people survived high school without the ability to text parents and vice versa. How ever did we all survive????

The world wasn’t digitized then. We have evolved. Sometimes we need to send a quick text about after school plans to our child and it’s super easy and convenient and you know they will get the message. When my child was in middle school I was constantly emailing his last period teacher about changes in dismissal plans and it was nerve wracking not knowing if she would check the message or remember to give it. Now that we have texting we should be able to use it to communicate with our kids. Lunch is the perfect time for them to read it. I really donut see the need to take them away at lunch. The cafeteria is probably quieter too. [/quote]

We haven't evolved. Technology has evolved and there is nothing wrong with saying "this is easier and better now, so let's use it!"

Is digital communication with kids during the school day needed? No. Is it really convenient and create an overall time and hassle savings? Yes.

No one says "some parents don't teach their children to take driving seriously or how to drive well so let's all go back to horses."[/quote]
