How do you propose for parents to be “on top” of what their son is texting, especially when he is not with them? There is no callback for deleted texts (and anyone texting stuff that he shouldn’t be, is probably deleting them after reading them). BTW, exactly WHY is texting so crucial? Having the cellphone should be enough, if getting in touch with parents or others is the purpose. Texting should not be done during class, so what purpose is served by it, as opposed to calling someone? Anyone capable of taking the time to check and read his text messages, also has sufficient time to speak on the phone for that same amount of time. The bigger question is – how did MY generation survive without cell phones? Somehow we managed.
