[quote=Anonymous]As a parent by 8th grade I was annoyed h the one kid in the friend group without a phone. Their mom would text me about their plans- which I didn’t feel like coordinating and pick ups and carpool were a pain bc there were times her parents didn’t get in touch and for whatever reason the parents would answer texts from my DD so my DD had to text me so I could text the mom to find out what was going on. And then there were fights and drama bc all the kids were chatting on iphones and the one friend got left out. Finally towards the end of the year her dad bought her a phone to use when she was at his house. Pretending technology and phones aren’t used for socializing by middle school in up is silly. And sure tbh apps aren’t needed at this point but better to give the accounts and monitor for a while. [/quote]
