[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a sixth grader and we don't allow texting. It's not that hard. Just don't do it.

And your daughter needs some social skills to build up her resilience, and perhaps you need to back away some too. I don't see anything egregious in the communications from the girls you describe as "drama girl" and "pot stirrer" - they are doing exactly what your own daughter did which is to express their opinions of someone else's behavior. Not a big deal.[/quote]

:lol:  Good luck with that one, Mom.  That will last 5 minutes. No sixth grader does not have access to a phone or computer these days.[/quote]

My daughter is in 7th and doesn't have a phone.  She uses the family computer for  a little bit of homework only.   Only in the entitled world of DCUM do you assume every 6th grader is texting away.  Elementary school is just downright terrible parenting.  [/quote]

Ask a  middle school teacher. And, BTW, none of the kids - all with phones- are entitled. They are on free lunch and/or live in HUD housing. Phones are how it's done, period, whether we like it or not. No, I do not agree that they should have them, but they do. Except your kid, I guess. Not only that,the schools encourage  BYD- Bring your own device. Not because it is useful in school, but because they can no longer get them to stop using them in class.[/quote]

How can someone on free lunches walk in with a $300+ phone?  That is a bunch of bullshit right there.  So sick of paying for families messed up priorities.  [/quote]
