[quote=Anonymous]My 6th grade daughter did not have a phone last year (she's a rising 7th grader still without a phone). She is a definitely an exception (and unhappy about it!!) We have one phone at home for our kids to use if they are headed somewhere on their own, and we want them to have it to call us. But it has limits on it, and can't be used for much other than calls. I have definitely noticed that she's left out sometimes for social events - the kids definitely coordinate that way, and the parents aren't organizing that stuff like they did when we were 12. She can text from her ipad, though, which we allow for that type of communication. The ipad doesn't leave our house. We have a rising 5th grader and 2nd grader, and I've seen kids in their classes with phones too. Shocking to me, but it's the new reality, I guess.[/quote]
