I asked a question about features that were available for Verizon, not for a parenting lesson. Guidelines were set before I posted that and they have been followed. That does not mean I can make this girl follow them too. The phone is a basic one so I cannot download any apps. The feature block is not an option since he is home during the day by himself. And during the school year he and his brother get on the bus after my wife and I need to leave for work. But thanks for the parenting lesson I didn't ask for. He is a straight A student in the advanced learning classes, plays travel hockey and baseball, and is involved in band and the skit club also. So I think I got the parent thing down alright for now.
