[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids don't wear watches these days or use alarm clocks.  They rely on their cell phones to tell the time and set their alarms.

It's hard to know what should be turned on and what should be turned off, particularly when kids are a year or two from being sent off to live on their own. It was much much easier when all parents had to say was no TV on school nights, or no TV after 10. [/quote]

My kids have "dumb" phones. Solves a boat-load of potential problems.

It's quite easy to provide your child with an alarm clock. My kids have those, too.[/quote]
You are the most brilliant DCUM poster of the day. Amazing how simple it is to greatly reduce the risk of devastating teen behavior. But you need to do the hard work of parenting. Most parents are failing their children.[/quote]

Don't most dumb phones now have a camera, too, and ability to text? I think you can still take a pix and send it via text.  The pix aren't as clear, but I would think it's still possible to do this.  You'd have to get the cell phones from like 10 yrs ago to not have a camera on the phone.[/quote]

Yes, but there are significant downsides. The screen is teeny tiny compared with that of a smart phone, so taking a pic with the camera to begin with just isn't that appealing. You can barely see it, even if the quality were good (which it most decidedly is not--it's a 2MP camera, LOL). So, while it's possible for my kids to use their phones as cameras, I've never seen either of them do so. Internet access is available on the newer "dumb" phones, but once again the small screen and lack of touch screen technology makes it extremely unappealing. I can see internet usage on the bills; my kids almost never use it. They use their phones solely for texting text (not images) and calling. I honestly cannot imagine a reason why any teen needs a smart phone. If they need to use the internet, they can sit down at a computer in our home or at school.
