[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an adult and I don't have a cell phone. It's totally doable, and frankly, I wish more adults were like this. Get your screen stuff done when you're in front of a computer and then go live your life! [/quote]

If you ever want to go to a game at my kid's high school (like if your kid plays a sport and  playing against our school,  at our school) the only way for you to get in is buying tickets through the app.   Literally, you can not just show up and hand over cash. 
From going to my kid's games, it's my impression that many of the schools in this area are like that.
Would you really just tell your kid "Sorry, I won't be watching you play, ever?" [/quote]

That’s horrible. Why does your school do that? I would definitely advocate for more ticket buying options.[/quote]

It’s very common. Our school is this way and so are two of my nephews’ schools in other states (and yes, I know that, because we went to their games when we visited).[/quote]

What’s so terrible about it?

My high schooler submits homework assignments on her smartphone. You literally can’t take the class without a smartphone. Tickets to a game are nothing. [/quote]
