Returning to school means you have to stay in touch with the family and communicate with them in a new way.  No yelling out the back door for junior to do his chores when the dog-dish needs water.  With your busy schedule, staying in touch is key to jostling those after school programs and activities that command so much of your family’s time.  Dad might have a late-night presentation and can’t pick up the kids even though it was his turn to get them.  You certainly don’t want them sitting on the stoop alone waiting to be picked up when the last parent drives off.  

Therapists hear stories all the time about broken- hearted kids sitting on the steps for hours because no one remembered to pick them up.    Or do you sometimes wish you could email the report you left on the dining room table?  The one that your team put hours of work into to get the bid on the waterfront property you’re short-listed to win?  You can eliminate stressful situations like these with a smart phone from Straight Talk.  There is no limit to the ways having a mobile or smart phone can save your hide or make coordinating schedules easier.  But there is a way to do it for less, and that is with the money saving power of Groupon.
