[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hardy has been reducing screen usage over time in response to parents' feedback.

The problem is DCPS pushes screens.  Cheaper  for them (though worse for students) and gives them control, which they are need for since they don't trust their teachers (which says something about their managerial (in)competence.

This is so depressing. I suspect the DCPS schools that limit screen time (Hardy and I guess Ross) have principals who are strong enough to push back. [/quote]

Glad to hear about Hardy. I heard they used to be so tech heavy in math classes. [/quote]

Hardy is very good about tech and the principal really has done a great job- implementing the no cell phone policy (you can watch the today show segment on Hardy here: https://www.today.com/video/phone-free-school-in-dc-shows-positive-effects-more-engagement-219077189697). The kids do not have 1:1 chromebooks anymore and there are quite a few teachers there who are doing low tech or no tech in their specific classrooms. Majority of ELA is all hand written worksheets and essays, math is definitely not exclusively on chrome books with a lot of work sheets and group work being done. [/quote]
