[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]THEN DON'T GO TO DCI. Just stop cackling about how the school and its model should be changed for YOU and YOUR SNOWFLAKE. [/quote]

Love my mother, drunk or sober.  Isn't the IB curriculum all about critical thinking and inquiry-based learning?  That aside, those of us in the feeder schools already "go" to DCI - it positions itself as a continuation of the curricula at 5 schools. We are stakeholders and enough of us are very concerned about the screen time issue, and because we are not being engaged by the DCI administration, there seems to be no other outlet to express ourselves than here on DCUM.  Speaking for myself, it is not the best tool but it has been at least marginally helpful, so I would like to politely suggest a moratorium on comments such as the one above, which really only serve as a game of whack-a-mole, since we keep coming back.

Regarding the suggestion that our concerns serve only our special snowflakes, I would like to add that the children least represented on this forum are actually at highest risk from the detrimental effects of so much screen time.  I will not list the well-regarded studies because they are so voluminous.  As someone who works daily with underserved children and families, I am completely taken aback by this approach by the administration. Honestly, I keep thinking I will wake up one morning to find it will all have been a weird dream. [/quote]
