Cons
•Cheating with cell phones has become a huge issue in many schools. Students can text answers under their desks during tests.
•Cell phones are not cheap. If a child goes over the limitations on a plan, the cost can increase rapidly.
•Cell phones can be very distracting from more important events in a child’s life such as studying, doing homework, or even crossing the street.
•Sexting, sending sexual messages or pictures to another person’s cell phone, is also an issue for parents to consider before purchasing a cell phone
for their child.
•Children can also receive calls from anyone who has their number unless there are specific blocks on their phone. Parents have no way of knowing
who is saying what to their child.
