[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The high school coaches my kids have been involved with communicate through apps and texts. And they don’t want parent involvement. I don’t know what they’d do with a kid who didn’t have a phone. And curious how your kids make plans with friends if they don’t have a phone in high school. [/quote] Yeah, that is not appropriate. I don't care if an adult reaches out to my kid but I need to be on the communication. It is a basic safety feature. I won't reply, my kid is the one who needs to be communicating but he should not be communicating with an adult solo. That is a huge red flag. [/quote] Not solo communication Messages on an app that go to the entire team. For example, my son’s coach sent a message to the team yesterday that practice moved inside due to heat. It was sent to all the players and coaches, but not to the parents. My 17 year old then told me. [/quote]
