[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our highly regarded elementary school [b]handed kindergarteners iPads on day 1[/b]. We could not opt out, despite my objections. They are on those devices far too much for my liking. For second grade, we switched to a private that does not do screens until 3rd grade. Now in 3rd grade, and screen use is still kept to a minimum. it is used for technology class once a week, for typing, and other occasional uses. They do nearly all their work on paper, and daily independent reading time must be done with an actual printed book.[/quote] This is basically universal. The real question, IMHO, is what are they doing on their iPads and for how long. 20 mins a day of some reading app? Okay, whatever. YouTube or multiple hours? I'd be pissed. [/quote]
