[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Naw. Screens are an integral part of our lives. They belong in schools.

Not going back to slate and chalk. Nope. [/quote]

You will when you see the absolute morons that the next generation is turning out to be. They can't focus on anything at all. [/quote]

The person to whom you are responding is simple minded and is absolutely the type to keep going with anything new, even if it ultimately proves to be inferior.

Those who care about results will shift to what actually works, even if it's more effort.  It's easier to stick children in front of a TV for instance, so many families did that as soon as televisions became widespread.  Others continued to read to their children. Everyone could see the outcome. Nevertheless, many parents still preferred the TV to the effort of reading books with their little ones.

This will be no different.

Insisting on no/low-tech, advocating for it in the schools and pulling for private or homeschool to make sure your children have that kind of education is effort and can mean sacrifice, and some parents feel like they have done enough by moving into a "good" school district, driving their children around in newer luxury vehicles and paying for camp.

It is what it is.
