Madelyn has had a cell phone for about a month and a half. Scott got the first bill from her phone a few days ago... how many texts do you think a 5th grader can send in 30 days?
510. Yep, that's five hundred and ten separate text messages. In thirty days.
Now fortunately texting is super cheap, equivalent to about a penny per text. So it's not about the money. No, more about how are we spending our time? And wouldn't it really be more efficient to just CALL the person with whom you want to converse?
But then again, I think I may also be guilty on this count of over texting. Probably best for me to stop talking about it.
Maybe I'll just text you.

- We adopted our youngest child, Gwen, from the Sichuan province in China in 2005, making our family SIX. In 2007, we were given the opportunity to move to Shanghai, where we lived for just a few weeks shy of five years. Now we are back in the Chicago area and readjusting to life in the US!

Consider yourself lucky! Many of my 8th grade students boast of averaging between 10,000 to 20,000 a texts a month. I shouldn't be surprised when they do not get their homework done.
