[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m concerned about the overuse of tech in schools and esp FCPS. I’m not totally opposed to Lexia and st math but not a fan of all of the apps my kid gets out on otherwise. If I asked teachers if they could have my kid only do the book box instead on myon, tumblebooks, starfall, etc would that work?

As the grade levels advance, I know even more is done on computers, and I’m concerned given the benefits of handwriting for neural development and learning. Is there any way I can ask teachers to have my kids do more by hand and then just turn it in? Or other ways people have navigated this?

For hw, could we print and hand in in person? I’d be happy to volunteer to grade his work!

Any stories of people who were able to secure non or reduced tech options for their kids would be appreciated. [/quote]

I had a parent request this a couple years ago. I told them they could print everything out and the student could do it on paper, but I wouldn’t be taken on the additional work on my end. It lasted less than 2 weeks.[/quote]
