[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Considering MS starts at 8:50 and let’s out around 4:00 we let ours have one in 6th. Pay-phones don’t exist, front offices won’t tolerate long lines of kids waiting for the school phone, etc. Add- mom/dad I want to leave this birthday party/school event/the place is closed unexpectedly. [b]There are not public phones anymore.[/b] You don’t have to go full access but they need a way to reach you. [/quote]' This is a really important point. When I was a kid, I could just pop a quarter I could just stick a quarter in a payphone and let my mom know where I was or if I needed her to pick me up. Kids can't do that anymore. Sure, they can borrow a friend's phone, but I decided I didn't want my kid to be dependent on someone else and got her an Apple Watch in 6th. She'll get a phone when she asks for one - hopefully not 'til 8th.[/quote]
