[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 6th grader commutes to Basis solo every day. Has a cell phone in case of emergency. Most of the kids commute to school by bus or train. When I was a kid I rode my bike to school but my mom made me carry change for a pay phone for emergencies. That strategy doesn't work so well anymore.[/quote] If there's an emergency, your kid can use the phone in the school's front office. Stop making excuses for middle schoolers having cell phones. The middle class in this country is raising a bunch of entitled, coddled wimps![/quote] Of course they can and they do - but during the 5-mile trip from home to school I'd like them to be able to call or text me. If they were coddled I'd be driving them each way. [/quote] flip phone parent here as well for same reasons. NOT coddling just a safety issue - my BASIS 6th grader is 11 years old and commutes flip phone. done.[/quote][/quote]
