[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously. If parents want to control cell phones, don't buy them for your kids. End of discussion. Do you need to track their every movement? Did your parents track your every movement? You want your kids to have social advantages and connections with cell phones, but you don't teach them how to use them, then blame schools for your failure of parenting. You can't have it all. Give your kids a tool of addiction and expect schools to cure them? Please. [/quote]

I agree here, but ... my DC in MS is the only one in their class who does not have a phone.  While phones are not allowed in class (they do still make appearances), at every social gathering, the phones are out and DC comes home saying that the outing was pretty fun except that kids were on their phones basically at all times.  We have witnessed it ourselves and determined it's not an exaggeration.  This lovely k-8 school and parents have just given up.  I think it depends on the class, but for these kids it's game over.  We feel like such outliers with not giving the phone, and that is also a bit hard on DC along with lost social time with peers. [/quote]
