[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are holding off on phones for our kids as long as we can....but we are noticing that the real pressure towards getting phones is less the peer pressure and more that adults (teachers/ club leaders) assuming they have access to one and assigning things/ communicating accordingly.[/quote]

+1 I have to agree. In MS, we had teachers allowing students to use their phones to take pictures of stuff in their biology class for their lab. That left my child out. Phones were also allowed on field trips. Again my child was left out. We finally relented and got a phone for them in the fall of 8th.[/quote]

I posted before I got to your post, PP. This was our experience as well. I really didn’t expect teachers to do this making mine and the 1-2 other kids without phones left out —- especially since the teachers would also complain about phone use during school hours. [/quote]

+1 and in high school it’s even worse. Teachers/coaches expect students to have phones.[/quote]

100% — I’m not in favor of this but it the way things are[/quote]
