I am going with the mom side bacause  she has a point that alot  of kids spend alot  of time on their phone. I also agree with the mom because having and getting a phone is expensive.

I would agree with the MOM because it would be a lot of money to afford the phone and if you have it for to long you would get addicted to it also he might want it because his friends are probably persuading him to get a a phone.

I'm on the mom's side because she has more reasons then Matt.She also said that Matt was getting a dog that he wanted last year.Matt might just get the phone next year since it takes a long time for his Mom to decide.

I like the kid better because he has better reasons

# data[].attributes.body
I'm with the boy because the kid has better reasons for example the kid said "I can text you if you forgot to pick me up ."

# data[].attributes.body
I'm on the moms side.
Because she gives alot  better reasons mostly because that kids get too addicted to their phones and 73 minutes a day texting their friend probably non important conversations in the first place. On the other hand the phone costs $200 the kid only has $46 anyway he won't be able to pay for it too.

I think the moms is more appropriate because Matts says "56 percent of kids ages 8 to 12have cell phones " when there is still 44 percent when percentage doesn't  matter.

I'm on the moms side because there is way more exciting things then sitting down moving your  thumbs and doing nothing. Like go outside or play with your Freinds. Another thing is that an iPhone is very exspenive 200 or 300 dollars! Mabey once they get a iPhone they wouldn't want it anymore so it's not worth it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the mom has the upper hand on this situation. I feel this way because Matt is telling the mom all of these facts that won't persuade the mom. For example, when Matt says 56% of kid of ages 8 to 12 have iPhones doesn't mean the mom will get the iphone.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the mom  has better reasons why Matt shouldn't have a iphone for example it will hurt your eyes.

# data[].attributes.body
I am on the moms side because she gives more evidence and details in her response. For example the mom talks about different reasons why Matt shouldn't get a cell phone and Matt only talks about paying for the phone and phone bills.That's why I am on the moms side.

I am on the moms side because she has a little better reasons about the iPhone. She explained the cost and how Matt will never get to afford the iPhone with his allowance.  Also, the mom said that he already has alot  of screen time and the iPhone will just give him more time on tv.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm on the moms side  because she has better reasons to why matt should not have a phone.For example it costs to much money and it will hurt your eyes.

I am going on the moms side. I am doing this because when you are young I do not think you need a piece of technology with you. Back when our parents were born they did not even have technology like we do to have fun with. Another reason is that iPhones cost a lot. I do not think a kid could earn enough money to buy one. And by the time you buy one , you might not even want one anymore. My last reason is because your eyes should not be addicted to a piece of technology all day . It is not healthy for your eyes. You could severely damage your eyes. That is why I agree with the moms side.

I'm on the moms side because if the son already plays video games alot, he doesn't need to be addicted to a phone. Also, the son is only 9 years old so he probably isn't mature enough to have a phone. Finally, the son most likely won't be able to pay the phone bill because he only makes $5 a week.

# data[].attributes.body
The mom won the argument because she had better reasons even a scientific reason.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm on matts side because if he's responsible enough to write this story he should be responsible enough to be a iPhone and also he is in the age range to get a phone .

# data[].attributes.body
i am taking the moms side for these reasons. first, paying the bill is a lot of money and with his allowance he would never be able to aford it. secondly,  the mom has way more facts than matt and way more reasons for matt not to get an i-phone.

Matt's Mother is right when it comes to the debate between them for several reasons. My first reason is, Matt's Mother said, " But the phone cost $200..." That is very expensive plus, the monthly fee which $70! That is to expensive with all the other taxes and fees people pay. My second reason is, Matt's mother said, " Taking care of the new dog your taking care of!" Matt is already getting something better than a phone! The mom already one the debate with a bias against phones with her negative attitude against phones and good reasons agains t phones.

I'm on the mothers side because electronic devices can affect your brain. second, you could get hooked into the smartphone and not talk to your family much. Third,

# data[].attributes.body
i'm on the mom's side.  Because electronic devies affect your brain. Also she is giving him a dog which is better for his health. It also will give you more time to do things that are good for your health because you spend an average of 73 min. just checking your  phone. It also costs $200 and, $70 every month exctra for the data/text plan. Also she is right he is to young because he could loose his phone or get caught up in social media where he could get cyber bullied. Also his friends might get jelous or he will brake his phone.  What saying is he's not resbonsible or mutured.
