[quote=Anonymous]To the pp arguing that kids need access to phones during the day because they are juggling so much—do you really believe that they are using the phone during breaks and lunch for productivity reasons? While I agree that our teens are indeed juggling a lot, not being able to constantly check text for reminders from home is actually a good thing. They had to learn to plan ahead—eg communicate to an employer that they need to miss a shift or to a coach that they will be late because they have a doctors appointment. My DCs have learned to look at their schedules and figure out how to communicate in advance and remember the plan for the afternoon. Also, if there is a pick up plan change, I can text them—they just don’t see it until the final bell. DCs are at a school without pouches/lock up but if phones are seen out there are consequences so compliance is very high. It’s fantastic. [/quote]
