[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there really 4th graders wearing makeup? No, you are not crazy for not wanting your kid to wear makeup or expose her midriff at school. We don't even own an iPad in my house and life is all the better for it.[/quote]

OP and yes, there are some who wear stuff beyond lip gloss in 4th and 5th. I can’t imagine putting on eyeliner because I can’t even do it fast on me, let alone her, in the mornings. It’s not everyone at all, but it’s some, and same for the belly tops in 4th. It’s cute but I guess I don’t like it for the age, not at the pool or whatever. DD has an iPad and I let her play on it, but put some limits and that works for us so far. No older sibling, so no phone, but we had kids in her class with older model iPhones in 2nd, more in 3rd, even more this year. The principal e-mails the parents every year telling us to avoid getting them phones for as long as possible, but having them seems somewhat common. [/quote]

Where do you live? We live in Mclean, there is a lot of wealth here, and no child has a phone in 2nd and 3rd grade. You are either lying or are in a private school.[/quote]

OP and no, I am not lying. I don’t live in McLean, and did not claim I did.[/quote]
Where do you live, OP? This is not at all what we've experienced in a high SES area, too.[/quote]
