[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love that DMV area 6th graders wanting iPhones have discovered DCUM parenting forums, where they pretend to be parents whose children attend schools where most students have iPhones.[/quote]

6th grade is when many start ms and things like activities and school transportation change.  It’s common.  [/quote]

Yes, but an iPhone specifically is not needed for a 6th grader to communicate. A less flashy smart phone will do, as will a watch. To get your 6th grader an iPhone is to signal that one of your hobbies is spending money foolishly or that you are a 6th grader. My rich sister got my nephew a new iPhone in 12th grade as a reward for excellent grades, and so that he would have a nice new device in college. Before then he just had a non flashy phone. That is more appropriate. Only a 6th grader playing Mommy on DCUM is going to argue otherwise. [/quote]
 :roll: I gave my kid an IPhone when 6th grade started for the reasons the PP mentioned and it was my old one. Almost all of my kids’ friends have an IPhone, and almost all of them have a hand me down phone. Not exactly a signal that our hobby is foolishly spending money. [/quote]
