[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just because your kids weren't raised to the point that you can trust them has no bearing on me and mine. I gave my 1st grader a 5c iPhone so he has something for emergencies. It has been perfectly fine.[/quote] My youngest had an iPhone 4 in second grade. It was handed down to him when an older sibling upgraded to a newer iphone. He had that phone for three years - never lost it or broke it. When he was in fourth grade we switched to Republic and bought him a new phone. He is in sixth grade and still has that phone. Perfect condition, never lost. His teachers even allow the kids to use their smart phones in the classroom for research. Times have changed. Most kids have Smartphones. You certainly shouldn't cave and buy your child one if it goes against your values. But I'm not changing the way I parent my kids simply because you don't think kids should have cell phones.[/quote]
