[quote=Anonymous]I'm going to reach to the school's IT person, but before I do figured someone here might know.  Is there a way for the school to lock down or remove apps from a student's iPad?  We got feedback from DS's teacher that he had spent minimal time in the math app that they recommend doing as daily homework.  We've been trying to be hands off, reminding DS that he needs to do homework, but not peering over his shoulder.  Turns out, because it's online and not paper and pencil, he's flipping over to another app and doodling or playing games or whatever but clearly not logging in sufficiently to the assigned site.

We will obviously be changing things up in our home, but also know this is a result of APS's insistence on using iPads rather than textbooks.  He might daydream sitting there with a book and paper, but wouldn't have so many distractions literally in his hands.  That self discipline is an executive functioning skill and needs some help apparently.

Anyway, does anyone know if the school will pull other apps or games off the iPad if you ask them to?[/quote]
