[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I despise them, as I've seen lots of examples of kids constantly distracted by incoming texts.  This is outside of school, but I've heard from my kids that the watches are not really locked down.

We did phones in 7th for my older two, which were easy to put in a drawer, not attached to their bodies, and easy to lock down. For my youngest who will want more freedom earlier, I'm considering a flip phone in 5th grade.  Then he could text me when going to friends' houses or other places[/quote]

You can set downtown on it and they can’t get any texts except from who you choose.  I don’t understand why people are saying it’s hard to lock down.[/quote]

I have no idea- but I know my kids played with their friends watches at school all the time in 5/6 grades when they were supposed to be locked. So I don’t know if their friends’ parents were bad at setting up screen time or what.[/quote]

School time is easy to get out of. Screen time requires some patience to set up, it's not intuitive, but the watch can be locked down and I think some people just can't figure it out. It would be nice if Apple made it easier.[/quote]
