[quote=Anonymous]Why are Chromebooks given to kids starting in kindergarten given what we know about plummeting literacy rates, decimated attention spans, the inability to read and comprehend AND in light of AI bring poised to make most computer science jobs obsolete? Why isn't there an uproar over this? Do parents not know the extent of it? I subbed for two years and was aghast as a parent in this district. Some schools are better than others but all are over reliant on the screens. I only worked in wealthy neighborhood ES and MS. Teachers also use low quality YouTube videos to teach lessons - I'm not talking about sub plans, I'm talking about the teachers being there. They are given a screen as a babysitter in this school district that. The kids bring the Chromebooks to art class. The class sizes are too big but why can't they use a pencil and paper? [/quote]
