[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid can see her texts on her computer. She generally ignores them because she’s actually a good student and pays attention in class, but if a kid is the type to be on their phone all day, they’ll find another way to access the same stuff on their computer.

I agree with this.  So many times I think that we get to a point where none of us want to deal with doing taking a harder but right approach which is to get to the root of the probs v just take things away so the prob goes away.

The better solution and I know too ideal to make it actually be practical LOL is to get kids to a point where they don't use their phones when they aren't supposed to.  I know it is too hard.  It's even hard for us adults.  :)  But honestly, it's the right thing to do ultimately.  It's not about taking it away as much as it is the focus, discipline and knowing why you should not be distracted by using the phone if you're in class or something.  It's about knowing the different between right and wrong which I'm pretty sure all us parents are hoping for when it comes to our kids.

But I get it, I really do.  MUCH easier to just take it away from them, I don't disagree, I just wish that we were all more on the same page as to how to make our kids behave :)[/quote]
