Why pay a premium for a stripped down phone when you can actually educate your kids and parent them (GASP!) to be responsible. Our kids all have Droids, full data, etc. and having them at school isn't a problem. They turn them off when we drop them off, use them during lunch when they are allowed and put them away until after school. They understand if they lose the phones for any reason, that they will be responsible for replacing them with their allowance. It is handy for us to be able to get in touch with each other when needed and they can use them for Facebook, texting, whatever when they are out of school.
