Melody, not all kids use their phones to cheat at school. All it takes is a parent who knows how to track everything that they do. I can see who they talk to, who they text to and exactly what times they do these things. If it is during school hours they better watch out for the wrath of mom.

The best part is they know that I will snatch that pretty little phone out of their hands faster than they can say "but mom???"

Oh and they know how much the phone costs because they have to pay half of their text messaging plan. I say if you need to talk to someone pick up the phone, if you want to send them a text you pay for it.

I like the texting because they keep in touch with me better because to their friends it looks like they are texting someone cool when actually they are texting mom to check in. Not that I'm not cool ya know...Sue
