[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is how I grew up. We've told our kids that they can walk to swim practice and spend the day at the pool and either walk home when they're done, or we'll pick them up after work. At least they have the pool [/quote] Yes, those were the good old days. Now tweens/teens that are home alone over the summers spend 7+ hours per day staring at their phones. They do not spend it roaming the neighborhood, watching TV, and picking up new hobbies. Some parents are fine with the hours upon hours of staring at phones. But, as a high school teacher, I think it is not good for our teens, to say the least.[/quote]
