[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I despise them, as I've seen lots of examples of kids constantly distracted by incoming texts.  This is outside of school, but I've heard from my kids that the watches are not really locked down.

We did phones in 7th for my older two, which were easy to put in a drawer, not attached to their bodies, and easy to lock down. For my youngest who will want more freedom earlier, I'm considering a flip phone in 5th grade.  Then he could text me when going to friends' houses or other places[/quote]

You can set downtown on it and they can’t get any texts except from who you choose.  I don’t understand why people are saying it’s hard to lock down.[/quote]
The kids I coach are on theirs all the time, to the extent they can't focus on anything else. Perhaps parents could set the settings better but that's not how they're being used.  And even parents seem to feel the need to check in constantly. They won't let the kids just be at the activity and be present.[/quote]
