[quote=Anonymous]When my children started middle school, it was time to give them a phone because they were transiting on their own. My daughter received the really old iphone 3 that we had lying around after she was born. It could accomplish the tasks we needed - phone calls and texts. She was horrifically embarassed about it but then came home saying all her friends thought it was cool. And, by the way, so-and-so's parents gave them a FLIP phone, whoa and so-and-so had an old slider. Meanwhile, on the other end of town, my friend who sent her children to the tony privates was coerced by her children to get them the latest iphone at nearly 1K each because the social stakes were too high not to.
