[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe parents buy their kids IPhones. Why is a teen walking around with a $700 phone that will get stolen at school. Idiocy.[/quote] Are you serious? When my kids were in our neighborhood (public) school, kids in 4th and 5th grade had iPhones. They may have been hand me downs from a parent or older sibling trading up but they had them nonetheless. Now my kids are in private middle school and most if not all of their classmates have iPad Airs or minis. They have their lesson pans loaded onto the devices and use online education programs that supplement the curriculum. I depend on my kids to text me when they are done with sports practice or study hall. And, God forbid, if there is an emergency, they can get in touch with me or their dad quickly. So, it is a matter of convenience, safety and utility. Welcome to the real world.[/quote]
