[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently the tech person at the school has admin rights for every kid’s device.

I’m considering asking ours to block YouTube for the rest of the year on my middle schooler’s device. [/quote]

Good luck. A lot of school assignments require watching YouTube videos. [/quote]

Please, please tell me this is intended as a joke. Surely not ? [/quote]

Not a joke at all. I substitute a lot. Often my job is to supervise them as they complete a large assignment on canvas that involves various activities, like analyzing a political cartoon or labeling parts of the cell. Often part of the assignment is watching a video on YouTube and then answering questions about it. It seems nuts but 99% of the time the kids who are the type to get their work done just get their work done instead of surfing YouTube, and the videos are sometimes really cool. I think iPads in schools are terrible because they are inherently distracting but YouTube access hasn’t been as bad as I thought it would be, honestly. [/quote]
