[quote=Anonymous]Nope our 6th grader doesn't have one, doesn't need one and won't be getting one on our dime anytime soon. And not sure I understand all of this stuff about needing to check in with your kids all the time or tracking them. Sure there were payphones when we were kids but I don't ever recall using one to call home - any change would have been spent at 7-11 on penny candy before we made it to a phone. My very scheduled kid knows how to get to and from school, baseball, soccer and his friends houses on his own and neither he nor I need the crutch of a phone. He only needs to call if he isn't going to be home in time for dinner which is easy to do because everyone else has phones - both cell phones and land lines. His walk/bike to school is just under a mile and I"m confident he could have done the walk alone at 7 to say nothing of 11. It really is not only ok to say no to your kids but sometimes a good idea.[/quote]
