[quote=Anonymous]I grew up attending FCPS schools from kindergarten through highschool, and I'm trying to figure out how much things have changed. However, I have heard that it is increasingly the norm for kindergarteners to learn via iPads and as soon as 3rd grade most modules are online during the school day? That sounds like a lot of screen time in schools. My kids get some exposure to screens at home, so I'm not totally against screens, but I thought research showed that kids learn better reading things in print and taking notes by hand. I understand that COVID changed a lot of things, but is this really the new norm? We're zoned for Columbia ES and I was totally excited about my child attending there next year based on my experience. Now I'm really unsure what to do. Have things really changed this much? If you have an elementary schooler at Columbia ES or another ES, how much is actually done on screens these days?[/quote]
