[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]We are surprised how integrated the screen device is embedded into our private school curriculum. All homework is completed in them, some textbooks are electronic only, all assignments come through the LMS, etc. [/b]

It feels very similar to our local publics, but I was hoping for less of screen time.

Anyone comment on their school; ours is small so Im reluctant to post as I have talked to the administrators about reducing screentime and was politely dismissed (not surprisingly, but a girl can try!).

This has been the case for maybe 20 years now. I was a math tutor for a long time, and I remember tutoring middle school kids (in DC) in the early 2010s and realizing no one had paper syllabi anymore. Once the cloud-based LMS became a thing, everyone got on board really fast. Assuming your kid isn't in a lower school, I don't think this alone is unusual or that bad.

To me, that's different from the phone/device issue. What I appreciate about our school is there's zero phones if you're at school and there are significant limits on tablets, laptops, etc. Especially in middle school, there's very little on a screen during the actual school day.
