My daughter is entering high school without a smartphone. Instead, I got her a phone without apps or WiFi.

My daughter is finishing up middle school and about to enter high school this year.

I decided my teenager would have a “dumb phone” that’s limited to calling, texting, and photo-taking capabilities. The phone will never have social media, internet browsing, email, news, or ads. The goal is to have my teenager go through most of high school with a dumb phone.

Of course, my daughter isn’t happy about it, but I am certain I’m making the right decision.
