Isn’t it possible for parents of a class to get together and talk about this and communally decide that they are going to free their children up for another few years from the relentless draw of screen time, texts, Twitter and Facebook? Children need to be children for longer and cellphones take that away. I'm sad for every child who went to school with her/his cellphone this morning. You deserve better from us.
I was chatting with my brother-in-law the other day. He told me that his grade 7 son, my nephew, said to him that he felt like he was one of very few students in his class who didn’t have his own cellphone. If you do a little online research of recent polls you can understand why he feels that way. He is right about the fact that many grade 7 students do have cell phones. My nephew’s folks are going to free him up from that for a while yet. What is wrong with us? Why are parents caving into the nagging they are probably getting from the children to own a phone, let alone put out the money to get the service? Why are we putting that kind of social pressure on a children? They may feel like they 'need' it because of the social pressure, but I would argue that you are increasing the social pressures on a child who ought to be free of checking his cellphone Texts and Tweets.
