[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My oldest went to FCPS before the pandemic. The last two years we have been at a private school. We are enrolled to come back (two kids) this fall.

I have heard a lot on other pages about screen time in FCPS.

How screen time is being done at your school and what grades?

I feel like the use of screens was overused even in spring 2020 but I am afraid maybe now FCPS never went back to normal based on what I have read in other parent groups.

Can you share how much screens are being used in elementary school? I want my kids doing normal homework using paper (writing these down physically retains more knowledge--multiple studies have been done on this.). Thanks.[/quote]

This will vary by school and by teacher. My kid’s tech use is what it was pre pandemic. HW is paper pencil and instruction is paper pencil. Projects, research and certain applications are on computer. Certain tests are on computers. Teacher posts HW online if kid loses it or forgets but it is printable. I would say my student averages 10 percent-30 percent of day on a computer, depending on what they are doing. When they were doing research they used it more. [/quote]
