»Why do those *** kids have iphones, they're like 5-12
If I had to devil's advocate; companys give parents an insane discount for adding additional phones to their contract. they get the kids an unlimited data plan and save money on portable gaming/buying the kid toys plus they can always reach the kid or tell the kid to use the phone for emergencies
It's a peace of mind our parents could never have.
This. I actually agree with both sides, though. Kids don't need iPhones; they should be given those Nokia sticks I had to use at their age. It should only be used as a means of communication. Thanks to the advancement of technology, I have to keep a sharp lookout to make sure no kids are texting or playing games while I'm teaching.
***, I had one kid last year blatantly playing on a 3DS while I was teaching - MULTIPLE TIMES! I should have just taken the damn thing and smashed it.
