[quote=Anonymous][quote]They don’t need bikes, or Netflix, or video games either. But many kids their age enjoy these things. What a dumb argument.[/quote] This is such a dumb statement I don’t know where to begin. Some things are better and healthier than others. Biking is better than Netflix which is better than video games which might be better than cell phones for 11 and 12 yo’s. Depends on the game and the kid. I am not sanctimonious about much, but yes, I am about cell phones. My brother works in cyber crime and has for years. Can a middle schooler have a cell phone with no ill effects? Some can, maybe. Do they need one? Hell, no. The idea, espoused by a few in this thread, that it is a social or educational necessity gets me on my high horse. It is NOT. The longer you wait, the better it is for your children and for all children. It’s lazy and intellectually dishonest to pretend otherwise. [/quote]
