[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much time do you think your child is spending on the computer? It's not very much at all. You can look at light speed - it's like 20-30 minutes a day and it's on Lexia, Canva, etc - this is for a 4th grader. My 8th grader uses her computer to track assignments, do google slides, email teachers, etc., but the actual school work is primarily done on paper. I think some of you are freaking out over nothing. It's not like elementary kids are on their laptop all day long.[/quote]

[b]Not true.[/b] They typically use the computer during intervention time. Computers are also out all of math block so students can use the online computer. They may also be out in language arts for writing. Elementary school students do not need to be on a computer so much. [/quote]

LOL! I get that my children's experiences may not be the same as yours, but that doesn't mean it isn't true! Every school is different - I have a 4th grader who is rarely on her laptop, the school admin made a conscious choice based on feedback several years ago to limit laptop time. I get the lightspeed reports so I know that it's not much.[/quote]
