[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents are powerless at getting technology away from our kids. Kindergarteners get stuck on chrome books from day 1. I'm not opposed to technology, but my kids didn't have screen time prior to this (except for family movie nights or ipads on airplanes). I taught all my kids to read at 4, but once they entered K and Lucy Caulkins "guessing" words started, they forgot the phonics I taught them. Their reading regressed in K.

Please someone take away the tech. Bring back whiteboards and get rid of these tech boards the teachers use. Kindergarters now have the huge screen reading to them instead of the teacher! It's really sad. And get rid of personal chrome books for kids. [/quote]

Yes to all of this. Kids don't "need" to use digital tech regularly in school until middle school, and even then I don't think they need 1-on-1 where they are attached to a Chromebook all day for every class. I don't know why my K son has an iPad given to him at school when I don't even use one as an adult. We restrict screens to basically zero at home, but he gets so much at school.[/quote]
