[quote=Anonymous]In our neighborhood, some have them in 5th (last year of elementary), many get them the summer before middle school, and some get them after that. My daughter is agitating for one. I don't have a philosophical objection to getting her one during the summer before middle school (yes, I know, I'm a terrible parent), but th epotential for losing it troubles me a bit. I also may go the "no data plan" route suggested by a PP - texting and wifi in the house should be fine. One thing is for sure - she's absolutely not getting a "recent top of the line smartphone." She may get my old iphone SE, which will be at least 2.5 years old at the time. If I decide to keep it, she'll get something similar, and used. And if she loses it, she pays for the replacement. I'm not getting an iphone X, and she's sure as heck not. [/quote]
