So you want all the anti-screen parents to leave public schools so you can continue to use screens in your classroom?

You realize there are more than two people commenting, right?

Yes, and I was responding to the person that said "Parents can send their kids to Waldorf schools if they want. Get them off screens and outdoors!"

It sounds like that poster wants the anti-screen parents to leave public schools so they can continue to use screens in their classroom.

How do you know that poster is a teacher? I’m the teacher you were arguing with and that poster wasn’t me. Sounds like you should run for school board. Be the change and all that.

Tone definitely sounds like a teacher. Why do you care so much anyway? I wasn't even talking to you. Get help for your main character syndrome.

Why are you so nasty to everyone?

Sounds like suggesting teachers not use screens constantly in their classroom really struck a nerve with you

Teachers don’t use screens constantly. Who is telling you that?

I mean not every second of every day, but enough that anytime I have been in my kid's classroom for a 20 minute visit during open house there was some amount of screen time within the 20 minutes

What kind of school is this that you are visiting so often?

It's a public elementary school that allows parents to visit classrooms once a year

I’ve done a lot of school turns for three kids at various stages over the years. Every single time, the kids in the classrooms are on screens

Yeah. It is the same every time.

You are correct that nobody is tracking the exact amount of time that kids spend on screens in school which is a whole other problem.

You can get the lightspeed report and see how long your kid is on screens. It is highly depended on the teacher.

I’m a teacher who worries about this for my own kid. I have tried to go almost entirely paper-and-pencil this year. I think parents should join their PTA and push their administration to discuss the issue and show support for less ed tech!

This. You can also request your child only be on screens when absolutely necessary. Or you can pay for a private school that doesn't use screens. Or homeschool. You have choices.

Will that tell me how often the teacher is showing the kids youtube videos?

It’s going to be a long hard road for you.

Not really. Thankfully we can afford to remediate privately.

I doubt that or you wouldn’t be here wringing your hands.

You can request it, but how can schools accommodate this meaningfully? Sure you can ask that iPads not be offered as a choice for your kid, but tests on on the iPad, Disney movies are shown a lot, brain breaks are on the smart board, and all the teacher led work is on the screen, not on paper. There’s only one teacher for 20 kids. If you’re lucky there is an aide or assistant, but most likely they are there to assist the kid or kids with needs, not to help implement screen-free learning.
