I enjoy learning anything tech. Anything. I joined here a total noob. I thought everybody here were geniuses. In 8 months, I've learned an enormous amount of stuff. And I'm still learning. I also like to learn History and Geography(@veeman I mean Geometrey. :p). English is too boring. Science I enjoy. Math to me is incredibly easy. I've never struggled in math. I always understang everything. It is vey rare that I miss a problem in math.

Unlike most schools though, we don't have a school uniform. We aren't all stuck up jerks. Anybody is welcomed. It's pretty awesome. Only 120 people K-12, most of them k-6. I've met the best people there. And the classes are so small, the teachers are awesome. It's always the same kids every year, so we're almost like a family. It sounds weird, but it's actually awesome.

Like I said, statistics is what gets you ready for calculus. But in public high schools, it's a dumbed down version of their pre calculus. In college, there is no pre cal, so you take statistics instead.

I'm in pretty much all ap except English because the internet teaches me enough grammar. Misspell something on your english essay?-5. Misspell something on the internet? May god have mercy on your soul.

And Jessica, I'm in 10th grade, 14 years old, and I'm also going to a private school. And then I'm going to prepare for the dual credit stuff where I work on my associates degree and my last 2 years of high school at the same time. I've spoken with people in the program and my math teacher was actually part of it at one time, And they've told me it drives the students insane. The good ones lose their social life almost entirely, and the bad ones fool around and barely get out of high school, let alone college.

It's a difficult choice, you'll lose a lot of sleep if you try to juggle a social life and studying plus homework. On the other hand, this is 2 years of your life you may be able to take back. It also increases the likelihood of getting a job right out of college since the big engineering and other corporations go to these colleges to see who was smart enough to get into this program, and that can get you tons of interviews with no experience.

It's entirely untrue that ALL teens use smartphones only for Facebook and other stuff. I am an example to that (I'm 16) . I did use my phone for that at start but the more stuff I discovered about it the more I got away from Facebook and games and got more into more useful stuff such as Android development. Heck I'm so into it that I'm planing to do it as a job. I also wouldn't agree that a smartphone is a status symbol because most are rather cheap. Unless you are looking at a iPhone but then again iPhone isn't exactly a SMARTphone is it? ;)
[Off-topic] WizardCM:
In a world where technology is being used by so many people, and social media is so addicting, sure, teens don't need a smartphone because they need a smartphone, rather they need a smartphone to stay in the loop. In the same way Facebook has always been an ugly website that os 95% waste of time, if you're not on Facebook then you can't stay in the loop.

Lots of teenagers (including myself) only use Facebook to stay in contact with certain people, or to organise social events.

[Off-topic] ShadowLea:
I was a teen when Facebook started in 2005 (14 back then.) and I still don't have nor want Facebook. It never was and never will be a 'need.' My job revolves around the media, and even then it still isn't a need.

Facebook is not the 'only' way to talk to people. I've been talking to people overseas since 1996 over the internet without Facebook. We called it ICQ back then. Still do, matter of fact. And it doesn't involve 30 million trying to be popular, mirror pictures and a level of shallowness that would shock a sheet of A4. The sheep on the street only think Facebook is 'the solution' because 'everyone else has it.'

Agreed, but my relatives are very technologically illiterate. I could spend hours setting up something like irc or teamspeak. Instead, I'd rather just use facebook. Most of them waste their free time on facebook anyway, might as well see how they're doing.

Guess I'm more conservative than most. When I was growing up we had dial up that my parents paid for by the hour.. no cell phones.. tapes and then CDs and many more less brain numbing things. We went outside to have fun. Kids are disconnected from the real world and live in cyber space.

As for managing her social life.. I'm a responsible parent who isn't satisified saying that I'm happy with my child's development as long as she isn't a drug dealer or gang Banger. Kids don't need to be subjected to adult humor or images. Which is readily available in both the play store and iTunes.
[Off-topic] gagdude:
My son is perfectly fine without me managing his social life, in fact probably in the same level of "class" (if you will) as your daughter. If you can smack discipline into them and trust them, you can let them be and save yourself a lot of trouble (and some of their privacy). My philosophy is if you can't fully trust your kid, why should they trust you any differently?

All that porn, sex, etc. I'm sorry but that's just something that society forces onto kids right now. Whether by themselves or at school, they will know. Usually by middle school. (When I was in 6th grade people were like omg your initials are bj! And ya.....). I'm willing to bet she is already exposed but doesn't want to talk about it because who wants to get in that awkward conversation with their parents?

Once again not bashing, but I guess I am just protective of my views on parenting and I just don't think it's right to manage too much, if any at all, as long as you can teach them what to do and believe they'll follow the rules

[Off-topic] PoorCollegeGuy:
I'm not a parent yet, but this is what my philosophy would be. If you don't let your kid manage themselves while you're around to guide them when they get in trouble...then how are they going to learn to manage themselves when you're not around? Better to let them learn for themselves while you're there as a safety net so that one day, you can remove the safety net with confidence.

As for the smartphone for teens thing, I'm all for it. Get em last gen's flagship (gnex, sgs2, evo 3d, htc vivid, htc one s, etc), get em an otterbox case for it (because they're kids and kids drop things) and tell them if they break it, they aren't getting another one unless they pay for it. Why? Here are 10 apps that have made my college experience easier:

Andy 86 (TI-86 calculator emulator...not available anymore but I still have the apk :D )

Algeo Calculator (Graphing calculator)

RealCalc (Scientific calculator)

Google Now / Web Browser / Google Search (cuz sometimes you can't remember wtf O(g(n)) is and need a quick reminder)

Google Drive / Dropbox (I've got term papers, code examples, lecture notes, whole text books in pdf format, you name it in there)

Email/SMS/MMS/Gmail (great for college students who may need to email a professor about something...or high school students who need to accept emails from teachers)

Calender app (because then you can make your kids show you their schedule...and it's important to teach organization at an early age)

Granted, kids may not want to use these apps this way, but that's why you start young and teach them to use these tools to their advantage. Early good habits make solid, permanent habits. I wish I had something like Google Drive in high school because back then I didn't have a printer. It was flash drives (really crappy 128MB ones too)

I have the same opinions as you...

I have two daughters as well but I can't quite speak on them yet...

My daughter in middle school keeps As and Bs, but has a serious issue with responsibility. When I she has a violin lesson and I come to pick her up, wtf? Where'd she go? My son is home and the only info he provides is "she came home with a friend then left after a few minutes." This is the sole reason I am getting her a phone, so I can call her. I know daughters are different, but when it comes to adult material, girls usually stay away anyway, calling those subjects perverted.

I also have a 7yo who my wife has spent enormous time teaching all aspects of education to her. Right now she is way ahead of her class, especially in math. I'm actually wondering how her social life will turn out once she reached the age where social groups are defined and the whole class is no longer included.

@Pennycake

Well said. Very well said. My son has a deep value for his own money, his smartphone, and any personal belonging he bought. He goes as far as to respect my money, as the school's lunch prices are ridiculous he acually tries to save the money I provide for it.

However I feel this behaviour could lead to some serious penny pinching, as well as buying cheap items instead of pricier quality items, so I told him he doesn't have to save on necessities but for only premiums. He seems to think we are in a financial situation and refuses to "waste" our money, nonetheless, it's his choice and as long as he is not starving I won't intervene further.

I'm 27 right now and my first phone came when I was 16 when I started to work. Not because I had to pay for it (which I did) but it was when my social life began to take off and I didn't depend on my parents anymore, so I got a phone.

I had to pay for the phone and I had to keep the payments and anything I wanted. I felt that they were very generous in that sense, they taught me a lot about money and life. Not everything gets handed to a person, they need to work to earn things. If your kids need a phone, get them a dumb phone and OH MY They'll survive!!! if they want a smartphone let them upgrade themselves with money they've earned or saved.

Nothing like hampering the future of our youth.

There have been numerous apps created by kids under the age of 16, I've read about a 9 year old that created a ios app in a very short manner of time.That is awesome too me!

While the majority of teens will have no care or desire to program, they definitely won't if they don't catch a tech bug. We need them to experience tech or we won't advance.

Im just short of 32, my oldest is ten and over the black Friday weekend I got him a galaxy nexus from Verizon(he loves flashing stuff to it), it was 50 bucks with mail in 50 rebate...cost of phone...free. he has 2gb data which 98 percent of the time the phone is at home and connected to wifi so 30 bucks extra on the data isn't really that much in my eyes/nor a good enough reason for him to not have one. He deserves it, he doesn't get an allowance, but considering he takes out trash after school everyday, among other little odds and ends.

Also, hes had a cell phone for the last 3 years, we got it for a add a line for ten a month as its cheaper than a home phone, he has used it everyday to let us know that they are home from school....home phone= 20 a month, add a line with data=40, total difference each month is only 20 bucks extra.

Sorry for the long post but a person's age should never be the determining factor in the things they EARN. While a lot of people have forgotten that their children should earn rights to do/have stuff, some of us still know how to raise respectful well beings.
