[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You realize this is entirely the doing of us parents?  Eveyone gets this, RIGHT?!?!  The only reason kids have this is because we, collectively, have given in to it. Kids cannot access technology in this way without their parents help.  And parents do it because they want their kid to be cool and hip and are fearful of their kid somehow being left behind or being different.

My 7th grader does not have a phone and [b]we do not have internet access at home[/b].  She has a robust social life and is a happy kid, as are her younger siblings ages 11 and 9.  She gets a phone when she is willing and able to pay for it and the monthly plan.  And then there will STILL be a contract and heavy monitoring until she is 18.[/quote]

Wait a minute- how does she do homework?  My kids have plenty of assignments that require the internet- research for projects and papers on google docs.

Another question- how will she be able to pay for a monthly phone plan?  Are you seriously going to let her get a job and drive a car before you let her own a phone?!?  [/quote]
