[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question: what are you going to do when your kid goes to college? All colleges use technology. All of them. You want to train your kid to use tech safely and correctly now rather than hope all works out later.[/quote] But you don't need to do that training over thirteen years for multiple hours a day. And in any case they're getting very little training in their highly equipped computer classrooms of the future -- maybe if you're lucky the teacher has the kids spending some time on a free website with learn-how-to-type games? I work in educational technology and can say with some confidence that nearly all tech used at the basic level is a distraction. Hence my kids are at an entirely tech-free private elementary school.
