[quote=Anonymous]This does seem to vary by school. My son’s friends mostly got first devices this year in 6th grade and none were smart phones. Range of flip phones and watches. They have to be 100% off at school. So far they don’t really text but it’s been useful for him to call me to say he’s going to the park or for me to communicate a change in evening plans, eg, I’m running late on metro. My 3rd grader has one friend who has a smart phone and I will not permit her to go to that friend’s house as a result. I know for a fact the girl is on TikTok constantly - her parents think it’s cute. And who knows what else. No one else seems to have any device yet. A colleague with same age kids in a different district reports all the kids have smart phones by third grade![/quote]
