[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have had this trouble too.  The school gives him a Chromebook and nothing else to do and then acts shocked the tenth time he does something thoughtless and dumb (never mean or threatening).  He doesn’t misuse screens at home so I feel powerless where the school won’t do what I know works (limiting screens; keeping him engaged in other things).

Can’t wait for summer.  No real ideas, just commiseration.

According to my middle schooler, who actually is a rule follower, 9/10 kids in class are doing stupid stuff on the internet during class time, both when there is free time and when they should be working.  No ideas for you, just sharing so you feel less alone.  This is a big problem with many students and for the teachers.  Our school blocks YouTube, and I’m assuming adult rated content, but I really think the schools need to do a better job keeping kids off screen and isolating computer usage/internet to the work they actually need to be doing.
