The big thing with parents and cell phones was so the child could get in touch with the parent, ie "call". If you are so worried about them being on the internet with their phone during school, discontinue that feature with your service provider!!


My child does not have a phone. I bet she is the only sixth grader that does not have one. I am strongly against phones at school. I grew up going to the office and using a phone to call home. High school kids I understand need a phone kept in the car, but not elementary aged kids. It's sad to watch kids walk out of school with their heads down looking at a stupid phone texting. They constantly hold their phones like an addiction such as a cigarette. Why do parents need to be incontact with elementary aged kids, I know where my kids are during school, parents that think they need to stay intouch with the kids during school are stupid and redneck. The facts are they want their child to be cool and fit in, cut it any way you want that's the truth. My friend whose child attends discovery middle school in Madison said the confusion caused by cell phones after the shooting will lead to changes, they did notify parents the kids were ok, but all the parents went to the school and tried to get in which caused chaos that was uncontrollable. Since then the rumors caused by kids texting each other has caused panic with in many schools.
