What the **** kind of ****** up country do you live in where the average elementary school teacher only makes $51,000 a year, but the average professional baseball player earns $3.2 million? Which is more important? Which is more influential? My daughter's teacher is one of the most important people in her life right now.

Even if it is a hand-me-down or supposedly for "emergencies only", what the **** does a 9-year-old need an iPhone for? I didn't get my first cell phone until I was 16, and that was a Tracfone while all the cool kids had those Razors that were popular at the time.

nonetheless OP is still human and has a life apart from teaching. op should be able to enjoy some of the finer things in life.

Who in the hell gives their 8 year old a phone in the first place? When I was their age, all I had was one of the first gameboys. You know, the ones with the cartridges that that you had to blow in to get them to work

I used to sub at a high school where 16 yr old kids drive BMW, Lexus and so on so I know how that feels. Parents these days

Well that's only because they keep annoying their parents until they get what they want.
