[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why laptops do not belong in schools. Keep them at home. Make kids take notes on paper. Do tests on paper. Plummeting test rates are directly linked to more time on tech. [/quote]

As a teacher I am torn on this.  On one hand I support teaching these kids to use the tolls and resources available to them that will prepare him for life beyond K12.  On the other hand, I understand and have seen first hand that children today(and honestly those of us who grew up before all this integrated tech would likely be having the same issues) simply do not have the self control and discipline to stay on task.  Really I am not sure what the real solution to this issue is.  Is it a parenting issue?  A school procedure issue?  Likely its a combination of both and its going to require a lot of work on both sides.  Neither side can demand or expect the other to carry the weight of making this happen.[/quote]

How is it a parenting issue if these are MCPS laptops and only MCPS has admin rights to control what kids are accessing and can’t stop kids from going to these sites in a school setting? [/quote]

Parents need to teach their children self control and self discipline.  That 100% is an at home learning experience and not one that should be on the teacher's shoulders[/quote]
