My comments

• out of all the responses to countless articles on the topic of teens and cell phones yours has been the most intelligent. The parents are taking into consideration social status and material value rather than thinking that they might be adding to a growing problem. I could talk to for days on the subject of why children shouldn't have full function phones. However when confronted on the subject parents and students alike offer only that their phone is important in case of emergency or to contact parents after school activities. Why not get a firefly and be done with it? At least then the child won't find it necessary to text their friend down the hall during the middle of class. They can still call home, or work, or whatever other number is programmed in the phone and have the ability to make a call in an emergency. In reply to: "Teens view cell phones as essential"
