[quote=Anonymous]It is now clear that screens are a net negative in schools. It starts in elementary school, with educational games like Prodigy and Lexia - which are very distracting for kids. They go home and struggle to focus on a paper book. By Middle School, they are using their school-issued laptop to watch movies in class. If you really care, please lobby your school board member very hard to do away with screens and bring back textbooks. We are now fighting for-profit software companies that hire highly paid salespeople to push screens so we as parents need to be as loud as possible. We can make the change but what is currently a whisper needs to be a tsunami of noise. [/quote]
