[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just surveyed my 6th grader - 90% of girls and 50% of boys have phones. Small private so she actually knows.  My kid does.  It’s really inappropriate to blame other parents for what you do or don’t allow.  Grow a pair.[/quote]

We're at a small private and the proportions are nowhere near that. Some of my 8th grader's peers are still using Apple Watch and iMessages on a tablet.[/quote]

I think when kids are in a K-8 it's much easier to not have a phone. If they are in public and in a middle school where they have a lot of independence it's odd not to have a phone. [b]My kid has practices that run until almost 10pm in 6th grade.[/b] No way I'd have him there without some sort of communication device. If you are the parent that says oh he can use a friend's phone or the parent who asks other parents where their kid is because we can track them and you can't but you want to: it's time to get them a device.

Not a problem if you dont allow dumb short-sighted stuff like this. 10pm on a school night at what age...11?12?
