[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. Got a phone in 5th. Need a way to contact us if the bus is late, or if he wants to stop in to see a friend.[/quote]

He doesn't "need" a phone for either of those scenarios. Land the helicopter.[/quote]

You wouldn't be saying that if your kid was on lockdown in a classroom and you got to speak with them one last time because they had a cell phone.

Also, a friend of my parents, their granddaughter passed unexpectedly. They contacted my parents because they know I do digital forensics work and have the software to bypass pin codes to get into phones. The mom thought she knew her daughter's pin but she had changed it. Anyway, unlocking the phone was unlocking a whole world for the parents and grandparents. They had access to thousands of photos she'd taken, videos, drafts in her Instagram and TikTok accounts, all the text messages between friends, notes, etc. That mom had been on the fence about letting her daughter have a phone before 8th grade but in the end, what she got from the phone made her change her mind and she bought her 5th and 6th graders phones the next day.

All of my kids got a phone the summer before 6th grade. That's when most of their friends did as well. Some got them in 5th grade, too.  [/quote]

These have got to be the weakest arguments and most random reasons I have ever heard on the topic. [/quote]
