jeepgirl49: I think the key to the whole immigration issue is ...
I love you, BookMAMA! Both of my kids have phones (at 14 and 10) and the high school kid with phone is necessary because of sports, and so I can FIND him…like a little GPS tracker! My daughter also goes to a different school, so she feels like it’s her anti-kidnapping device. Like the phone is protecting her from getting lost or separated from me-which is important to her, because she’s just that anxious kid who wants to stay close to MAMA. So, I am in cyber jail in practice, even though I agree with you totally! So far the only REAL benefit to the phone is that I can take it away as punishment and, sadly, it’s the only currency that truly works to improve grades and behavior. A pathetic statement about how powerful those cellphones really are!
