When you step into your school this fall, your eyes won’t be playing tricks on you. Pretty much every student, starting at the age of about 12, has a mobile phone. About a third of those students have a smartphone. The ‘Generation Text‘ is here and they expect you to keep up with them.
That’s according to a new study commissioned by AT&T and conducted by GfK. They did a national study with 1,000 parents and 500 children ages 8-17. This study found some good news (nearly all kids think it’s OK to have parents control phone usage) and some bad news (1 in 5 kids have been bullied via text message).
At any rate, this study comes at a critical time for students (and teachers) heading back to class.
