The negative effects of teenagers having a smart phone are far worse than not having one. There are other ways to communicate and coordinate with friends than a smartphone. Many positives of a smart phone can be achieved using things like a dumb phone(or even a smart watch) or a computer.
The last people I am worried about when trying to decide how to raise my children are govt funded schools and teachers but If i decided it necessary to use an app for education I would prefer a tablet over smart phone.
I will try my best. I hope you can keep your daughter off instagram and snapchat etc...

I do not agree with this. I have never wanted to use Whatsapp and I guarantee you that for this reason I am penalized both for private relationships and in the working world. So, if an adult is not able to accept my choice and does not adapt, imagine teenagers who tend to isolate the "different"

I can share your idea of preferring a tablet to a smartphone, but in this case I should equip my daughter with a tablet with connectivity and a phone to be able to call. Personally, I opted for a used smartphone in which I set several blocks.
As for the school, I cannot agree with what you say because I chose a private school for my daughter. It is a very expensive expense, but for my daughter I am saving on other less important things to provide her with a high level of education.
