[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know of a school system in the DMV (or elsewhere—we have family that teach in multiple states) that fits the bill. That ship has sailed for the time being IMO, to the great detriment of student learning.[/quote]
I agree with this. You’d have to go private, even then you’ll have to look. 
In my experience with 4 APS elementary schools as teacher/parent I found it varied widely, down to teacher how much was used. In K it was 20 minutes or less per day and ramped up[/quote]

My child’s private school issued an iPad to all elementary school students. It did not come home unless they had COVID, but they regularly used them in the classroom. [/quote]

Kid in private.  iPads are not issued to kids and only brought out if an assignment required their use.[/quote]

Absolutely not true. You're going to have to do your research, because a blanket statement doesn't apply to all. Some private schools definitely use iPads and notebook computers not only for in-class assignments but for homework as well, even in ES.

Also, they don't give an -ish what you think about... well, anything. They are run by a Board of Trustees, not a publicly elected school board, and I've seen more vocal parents who buck policy get their kids kicked out... straight back to public school.

Not PP, but… What are you talking about?! 😆

They were sharing details about THEIR private school, not making a blanket statement about private schools.

Reeding comprehenshun is gud.[/quote]

I put my kid in private school and found he had hours of homework on his iPad. (3th grade.) So we're going back to public. Ironically APS. Talking to my neighbors, at least at my neighborhood school, the iPads don't even come home at night.
