Just wanted to say i accidentally hit the YDI button. This is definitely NOT a YDI situation!

Who the hell in their right mind gives a 6/7 year old a cell phone?

I'm 14 and I just got my first one, but it was because about a month ago a lady offered me a ride home when my mom was late, but a cop drove by and she jumped in her car and drove off, so when I told my mom she got paranoid. But a first grader?geez

Kids that age don't need phones, or any electronics unless it's a game boy. Otherwise send em outside

this generation is ******.

I got my first phone in first grade. I lived on a farm way out so I had to catch a lot of buses to get home and walk a lot too. Every time I got on the new bus my mum would make me text her a smiley face so she knew I was safe. I didn't use it for anything else. They might have had it for safety reasons. Although my phone was just a cheap one from Coles, I would've never had a fancy or expensive one.

My first phone was a BlackBerry (can't remember the exact type but it had a keyboard and a little scroll ball) and I had it in 5th grade because my mom's job was getting really odd hours and she needed to be able to reach me for sudden changes of plans and such. It wasn't a smartphone, but it was still capable of Internet access and everything. I don't see why a little kid should have a phone even that fancy. I only really used the call and text function to make sure my mom knew where I was (and maybe a little youtube)

Maybe because you are a first grade teacher?

My 4-year-old nephew asked his mama, my sister-in-law, for a tablet. She just shook her head at that request as she walked to the layaway counter and put one on layaway for him...

That is so wrong on so many levels. No one under 15 should have one, in my opinion.
