[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]

hysterical. You couldn’t handle your own parenting choices so caved and blame the teachers. Makes a ton of sense. [/quote]

You’ve got it wrong. My child was disadvantaged in science class by not having a phone to take pictures - that meant he had to hand draw from memory what he saw vs refer to a screen shot. In his high school language class, the teacher recommended a certain app to help. How does one access an app without a phone? We waited as long as we could but when his own classes started using phones and apps we knew it was time. [/quote]

Yep. [/quote]
