[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously. If parents want to control cell phones, don't buy them for your kids. End of discussion. Do you need to track their every movement? Did your parents track your every movement? You want your kids to have social advantages and connections with cell phones, but you don't teach them how to use them, then blame schools for your failure of parenting. You can't have it all. Give your kids a tool of addiction and expect schools to cure them? Please. [/quote]

My mom (age 75) makes this point to me when we have this discussion on the risks of phones for this generation.  To my mom, the parents need to be responsible.  That makes complete sense.  However, as I mention in my conversations with her, my concern is for the entire generation of current teenagers.  Yes, the parents must do their job at home.  But many kids are not fortunate enough to have parents that monitor these things.  And so for the sake of [u]all[/u][b] teenagers, let's just ask that schools help out and keep it simple -- no phone use at school.  The kids might even prefer it, but they don't yet realize it because they are addicted to their phones.[/quote]
