It could very well be because you don't know when you're getting a kid. You don't if he's at class, you don't know if he's at lunch, you don't know where he is at that time. So when you leave that text, you don't know what he's involved with. I think kids feel like they have to get back right away when somebody texts, and I think it's interfering with things they should be doing. You don't want to overdo it, because you don't want to upset the kid or the family.
