[quote=Anonymous]There is a ridiculous amount of screen time at our elementary school. In full disclosure, we are not zoned for Westbrook and my kids attend a Title 1 school with a high FARMS rate. The kids watch movies as a ‘treat’ or as a reward. They watch movies or shows during indoor recess. They play an insane amount of useless games on Abcya or other similar websites. The read books on Epic instead of paper books. Even the media specialist has been known to run a YouTube video of someone reading a book to the kids versus actually reading the book. Homework is sometimes on the Chromebooks. Our school gives everyone a Chromebook to take home. They do slide shows or research from various websites. Math homework is usually on paper in one of the Eureka Math workbooks. I honestly think it’s too much screen time and more than the kids need. But maybe a school like Westbrook is better?[/quote]
