I remember back when I was little cellphones were a rare thing to have, almost anywhere. But I had a pager my parents gave me so they could contact me when I was playing in the neighborhood. I was the first kid in my class to have a cell phone, sixth grade. And I was the ONLY one to have a phone until eight grade. Thing is I was involved in school activities and sports, and I walked home, so it was a safety thing, and the only people I called were my parents. It wasn't like back then I had friends I could call (why use minutes) and texting didn't even exist as a thing back then.
I think now getting a cell phone has become something like a coming of age thing. It's one step closer to being more of an adult. But I think that parents still need to have control over their childs account. I know people who have their kid get a pre-pay plan that they pay out of their allowance.
I think strict rules need to be enforced. I also don't think phones should be allowed in grade schools. (Like in class)
