[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My point is you luddite dinosaurs act like its ALL Angry Birds and brain rotting games. Reality is, its not just a new fangled electronic nanny. It can be a tool for enrichment as well as fun. And you dont have to spend a ton of money on a tablet either. Mini droid tablets start at $199 new.[/quote] I'm a former middle school school teacher, currently tutoring children in upper elementary and middle grades. I'm also the parent of 3 kids in their teen and college years. There are definitely wonderful, enriching ways to use an ipad, but the reality is that most young kids end up playing a lot of Angry Birds. In my experience, electronics are significantly affecting kids' ability to concentrate, entertain themselves and tap into their imagination and creativity. Finally, do you really think it makes sense to give a kid a $200 present? sign me -- a happy Luddite dinasaur[/quote]
