[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another perspective here: There is a small group of parents at DCI whose kids have issues with tech at home who constantly whine and bitch about the tech use. I suspect it is the same 3-4 of them hammering DCI on this thread. DCI cannot block Netflicks, but neither can they give kids an account....
The vast majority of us at DCI love the school, do not find it to be filled with discipline problems, and are so proud of all it has accomplished: instruction in 3 languages, highly qualified teachers, IB status, sustainability focus, meaningful electives, wonderful afterschool activities, and a truly diverse school in every way.
Perfect? No.
Better than all the rest? Yes.[/quote]

This is misleading. There are some of us, with no tech problems at home, who simply feel that too much tech during the day, especially video games and movies, hinders learning. However, no matter how much you care about this as a family, at DCI your kid is in an environment where most of the other kids are playing games and watching TV or movies during free time. Our DC is not allowed to do either at school and has the unenviable choice of disobeying us or feeling like an outsider. What is true about the above is that for many people, the tech issue is very low priority and outweighed by the positives.[/quote]
