[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is trying to convince me to get him an iPhone, but not sure if it is actually helpful. He is going into 9th grade to a math/science school.[/quote]

Why not a simple flip phone? More than enough for voice and text, and little/ no distractions[/quote]

[b]Because it's hard to text on a flip phone and no one in high school has them anymore.  Kid sounds like a good kid.  Don't punish him by forcing a flip phone on hi[/b]m![/quote]

Oh, the horror!!!!!  Next it will be buy him a new car.  Don't punish him by forcing him to drive some sad ass old hooptie to school!"

OP here. We actually told him that he will be expected to buy his own car. We will cover other expenses like insurance, cover the down payment, and use our credit to pull out a loan- but he is responsible of repairs, monthly payments, etc.

The thing is that we want DS to be prepared for the real world and to respect money.

Why would you want your high school kid to buy his own car and have a monthly loan and pay for repairs.  That makes no sense.  If anything, you buy the car and he pay for gas and insurance.  [/quote]
