[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, started taking mass transit to school 40 minutes away by herself at the end of 4th grade. Got one then. [/quote]

Yes, because no child before 1995 has ever used mass transit.   :roll:   Just say you gave in like the other parents.  Please don't rationalize. [/quote]

So I was the eye rolling parent to this argument when my kid was in 5th grade.  The issue is there are no pay phones anywhere anymore.  I rode the public bus as a kid and also always had change and would call my parents as needed with updates on what bus I was catching.  They can't do that anymore.

Yep.  Rock on with your bad parenting self and let your 11 year old loose in the city with no phone.  I mean this genuinely---I was too squeamish for this.  I caved and bought my 6th grader a phone when she started taking the city bus and/or walking a mile+ by herself.[/quote][/quote]
