I just know - if 100% represents the perfect 'trouble free' student (for them, a successful & enjoyable year), then about 10% has already been deducted.
A shameful generalisation - I heartily agree - but I'm sticking to it!
You see, to me, this family has over-subscribed to some kind of idea of 'throw-away'. Of communication as 'choice' (oh god - that over-used word again).
Let me explain - if a 16 or 17 year-old chooses, he or she can keep communications with them a total secret. With a landline missing, you've lost the possibility of speaking to SOMEONE in the family, someone ELSE can be alerted to some problem, some difficulty - SOME FACT that the young adult has CHOSEN to keep hidden.
. . . . . . . and think on! That mobile needs constantly recharging, needs to not be lost, and at anytime young TrayC (god help us) or Wayne can wander into MobsRuz and exit 5 minutes later with a new number - absolute total disconnection from those not chosen to sit in memory.
