[quote=Anonymous]We're in FCPS. My older kid has been using her smartphone in class since 7th grade - things like quick research, Quizlet, Kahoot, etc. According to her every kid had a phone and the teachers really never had to provide school issued devices to anyone. She herself isn't much into social media but a lot of her classmates are and I can see how a kid would feel left out if they wanted to participate but couldn't. My 6th grader is huge on texting/FaceTiming with her friends. She uses an iPod since she doesn't have a phone yet, but having that capability is a big deal for her socially. Half of the girls in the grade are all on some giant group chat and there have already been issues related to some kids who weren't included. I personally could do without the drama, but I as long as my kid is being respectful and responsible I wouldn't want her left out because this is how the girls are staying in touch and handling their social lives right now.[/quote]
