> What kind of parent will call or message their kids during school hours?

Both my teens text me throughout the school day if they need something. It's not every day, but it's several times a week. It's incredibly useful. I'd fight this vigorously if they tried this in my school district.

useful != essential

Any usefulness needs to be balanced with the possible detrimentals consequences.
