[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have been in 2 different elementary schools and I would say that there is far too much screen time these days. Reading/phonics is done on Lexia - must do Lexia every day. Math is frequently on Math playground or whatever that is called - where they consider math to be dressing your penguin or prodigy, which also lets kids spend an oddly weird amount of time dressing characters. Reading is often done on MyOn - not with real books. Indoor recess? Screentime! Lunch? Movie time! Having said that, I'm not sure privates are any better.

There is a growing movement away from tech in schools now that there is more research about how it reduces learning. Unfortunately, it probably won't happen fast enough for my kids or yours. [/quote]

This is such an odd post. True students are on Lexia. There isn’t any customization of the penguin and STMath, so what are you talking about? Indoor recess occurs 2 to 3 times a year. They are never movies during lunchtime. And kids can go to the library at least 1-2 times a week to get a paper book.

It is true that there’s increased technology in schools nowadays, but your post is clearly an exaggeration.[/quote]

DP. Our school was frequently showing movies during lunchtime the year after Covid to try and keep kids quiet and 3' apart. They didn't before and they don't now, but they did for a while.

We have indoor recess more than 3 times a year for sure.

I think the customization of the penguin is the poster being confused between ST Math and Prodigy.

Kids can get paper books, but I feel like our teachers encourage myOn and Pebble Go and NewsELA because the county paid for them and now teachers are expected to use them.[/quote]
