[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Life is becoming more and more dependent on smart phones.

I don't know what kind of activities/friend outings your daughter participates in, but smart phones might be needed for just very basic things.

I know at my kid's high school, entrance into all games, school plays, etc. are now on an app.    Food at the concessions stands are all done by credit card or apple pay/venmo/etc.

So if your daughter was to join a sport team or performing art at her school, and they had some type of competition/event at a high school, she would need either a credit card or phone app just to buy a bottle of water and slice of pizza at the concession stand.

If one of her friends has an older sibling in the high school play and they (your daughter and friends) wanted to go watch the big sibling perform, they'd need to use a phone app just to get in.

I personally find it ridiculous, but it's how it is.   [/quote]

This is a 6th grader though, not a high schooler. Gabb is fine.[/quote]

pp you quoted here. 
I'm not familiar with Gabb, is there a way to add payment apps to it (like Venmo?)
I don't know if you read my entire post.   I know OP's kid is in 6th grade.    I am saying that sometimes even middle school sports teams go to large events/competitions at high schools, and those high school concession stands might not take cash.

Maybe that doesn't apply to OP's kid because she doesn't participate in any sports or activities like that.   But many middle school kids do.[/quote]

No, its just a phone that texts and takes photos. It has zero WIFI access.

No need for middle schoolers to have smart phones [b]for their parents to stay in touch with them.[/b] They can have dumb regular phones. [/quote]

So yeah, I guess you're just not reading my entire posts.[/quote]
