[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes - it was a 5th grade graduation present for our oldest before starting MS. It has proven invaluable when staying after school, attending practice, hanging out with friends or going to a party when pick-up times can vary. Nearly all her friends got one at the same time and[b] the few that didn't relied on using friends' phone for communicating with their parents.[/b][/quote] I have seen this several times. My kids have had several friends who are phoneless in 6th grade and they just constantly asks to borrow other kids' phones. It's fine but u[b]ltimately the parents are just mooching off of other parents[/b]. [/quote] :roll: [/quote] well you really are. You're sending your kid out in the world without anyway to communicate with you and relying on them to use other kids' phones on a regular basis. How is that not mooching? I'm waiting for the explanation. (ultimately I don't care or lose sleep over this but so many of the higher-than-though "my 6th grader doesn't have or need a phone" people's kids are just a PITA to other kids in this regard).[/quote]
