    I remember getting mine at like 15.

    Dumbphones still exist. The only reason a child needs a phone is to place a call during an emergency, so as far as I’m concerned, they should get them whenever they can be trusted not to use them in class.

      I didn’t use mine in class because it wasn’t allowed and teachers would take it away if I did. Is that not a thing anymore? Or maybe just a german thing in the first place.

      That being said, don’t need a smartphone to play games in class. I was a god at snake on my graphing calculator…
