[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Had a chat with my kid last night about giving her the chance to make her own decisions and live with the consequences, self-policing addictive behaviors, not being stupid and how not to get caught. Have fun with this meaningless debate.[/quote]

+1 FCPS is not capable of enforcing this. Putting the ban in place isn't going to do much. Either people on this board don't remember being teenagers or they were very boring teenagers.[/quote]

Boring is good. I think most parents would take boring any day of the week.[/quote]

Ugh, how sad.[/quote]

You think phone addiction is exciting?[/quote]

I'm sorry your kids can't use a phone without being addicted. You maybe shouldn't buy them one?[/quote]

My kids are irrelevant to this discussion. You, however, seem to think yours need their phone 24/7, or else...what?[/quote]

No they aren't. [b]You should be worrying about your kids - not mine or anyone else's.[/b]

I think my kids at 16 need to be treated as adults, lest they become the type of kids whose parents email me at college to ask about how "we" can get from a B+ to an A-.[/quote]

DP but this “MYOB” approach is completely wrong.

When we see something happening that is wrong and hurts people, then we need to say something.

You may think your kids are perfect and fine in all of this, but we are not islands. We live in society. What we do affects others.

Maybe you are someone who brings booze to a party full of recovering alcoholics because why should their problems affect you, since you can enjoy responsibly?[/quote]
