[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I’m old but why the heck are parents blaming the school when their kids chooses to play video games? I would come down really hard on that as a parent if I found out. It’s like saying “of course my kid is throwing paper airplanes in class all day! You gave him access to paper!”[/quote]

I don't think that's a great analogy, considering tech is designed to be addictive, unlike paper. It's more like putting a big bowl of M&M's on every student's desk every day.[/quote]

Pro tip to the PP: most new parents today realize pretty quickly that most older adults who had kids decades ago don't really remember much about parenting and have no idea what things are like now. Don't embarrass yourself. I just read that something like a quarter of kids have watched porn at school. Even if it isn't your kid, do you want that around your kid? Is that conducive to learning, and if not is the solution to tell parents to tell their kids to stop? Be honest, would you be satisfied if that was the school's answer to your kid being exposed to porn they didn't choose to watch at school?[/quote]

You must have read this article in the NY Times. It's not right that this is forced on our kids. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/16/opinion/laptop-classroom-test-scores.html?unlocked_article_code=1.1k8.qxFA.zsxYGwOCnhag&smid=nytcore-android-share[/quote]
