CAN IT BE TRUE THAT 20% OF THIRD GRADERS---8 YEAR OLDS---have their own cell phones and by middle school the market is saturated by almost 83%? Since these phone are smart phones with cameras and internet, one can only imagine the amazing amount of distractions for kids in every aspect of life.

My children and my great niece (who lived with us) were furious that all the other kids had cell phones and cars. I let them stew, then stirred some more and they grew up and are doing fine. Now they have to pay those bills and don't seem so inclined to be furious anymore, especially when they found out that I had put the monthly payments for said phone and car into their college fund and an account to help them put a down payment on their first house.
