Is my kid on her phone more than I'd like? Yes. But she's a straight A student. Doesn't change the fact I want us to be able to contact each other should an emergency arise

    You can. You call the school. That's what people did before schools started allowing phones everywhere.

    If there is an emergency, you'll need to call them anyway. No school is just gonna let your kid leave because the kid says it's okay.

    Sincerely, a fellow dad
