[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is in 5th grade at a Catholic school and none of her friends have cell phones.  We parents coordinate amongst one another to make plans.  I enjoy the fact that we seem to be in a safe little side pool/microcosm where kids are allowed to grow up the way we used to.  I am currently planning on letting DD get a cell phone in 9th grade, at the earliest.  Kids have enough to worry about in middle school years.  I am glad I can provide her with a few more years to grow and develop sense of self without constant attention given to social media issues.  [/quote]

Sounds like you got lucky, my DD is in 5th at a Catholic school and many, if not most, of her friends and classmates have phones. There’s already drama with group text strings and boy-girl texting. A few of the kids have YouTube channels they post things to and many have Snapchat. They’re not allowed to have them out during the day and even have to check them in at the office if they bring it to school, but it doesn’t seem to matter.

For what it’s worth, we’re in Annandale, and not in a particularly high income school. [/quote]
