[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you find the constant device usage a problem?  I heard it has gotten a bit better but I still hear stories from the neighbor kids at DCI about kids in their class playing games all day.  I worry about this for my kid with ADHD. I don't think it will be good for her.[/quote]

Not pp, but yes. We hear from admin that they are trying to incorporate more offline learning, but it's not happening fast enough for my ADHD child, at least not so far into the first year of middle school. Who knows if the new principal will feel the same.

The school can lock down the student's Chromebook if families request it to a more extreme setting than the default. This can help but may also make it hard for the student to access certain sites that teachers use, such as ones with embedded videos.

From asking about computers when touring other schools, this problem is not unique to DCI so we will stay for 7th.[/quote]

If the comparison/other option is Latin tho, it is quite different. Kids use chromebooks in some classes but there is a lot of paper pencil work. For our kids its had real benefits for writing (hand and typed).

However..predictably, their Spanish definitely is suffering.[/quote]
