Today, I confiscated a 1st grader's cell phone. It was better than anything I could come close to affording. FML

I work in a low-income school. Very rarely do we have students who have OLD (think Nokia brick) cellphones that are deactivated so that they can call the police if necessary. These students are usually our 4th & 5th graders who may be involved with activities after school. Occasionally we will have a student with one of those "cellphones" that can only be used to contact parents & police. Otherwise, this was a rarity.

Wow, when I was in first grade I had legos, not a smartphone. It's crazy how much those things control our lives now.

I can understand giving a kid a phone with all the insane people in the world, especially jerk offs that kill 1st graders or kidnap 200 African girls, but seriously: Did the parents have to spend money on a phone that should used ONLY to call people when you're 6?! Why do they need a smart phone?! Just get a fricking old school Nokia!

Actually, I had a phone in first grade, but it sucked. I couldn't text, save contacts, download games and apps, it didn't have buttons or a touch screen, and I couldn't call people with it. It was a shitty phone.
