Okay this is getting ridiculous with peoples STRONG statements, you know who you are, and I think you need to RELAX! Everyone one is entitled to their own opinions and you do not need to be so dang harsh! Grow up. If your kids don't have cell phones and you don't believe in them then SIMPLY state that.
My son is going into the first grade and his KG teacher wouldn't let him use the phone to call me at home when he was confused if he was suppose to ride the bus or get picked up. She put him on the bus when she forgot he was suppose to be picked up. When they finally figured it out I was freaked out thinking someone kidnapped him. I went home and my son was on the door step crying!!! We live a block from the hwy and I was very upset, but glad to see my five year old was smart and just waited for me!!! She is now thankfully retiring.
They have a special cell phone called the firefly and it all programmed by the parents and secured with a pin number. It is meant for very young kids. I would highly suggest that phone......I don't trust people anymore these days and think that kids need as much protection as possible. There definitely needs to be rules in schools about phones and if they are broke then they are taken away and the parents are notified....???
