[quote=Anonymous][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]

It’s not simply the principal. It’s the level of need in the classroom and the tools the teachers have. All DCPS schools have to use iReady so there will be some computer time - but it can be kept at 2 hours a week.

[b]There is no mandated amount of computer time beyond iReady.[/b] If you are looking for a low tech school you need to look at schools that value science-specifically neuroscience. [/quote]

That's not right.  Any books for ELA are in Sora (unless the teacher, school, or PTA buys hardcopies), science in social studies curricula are online, middle schoolers and high schoolers take RCTs in most classes, etc etc.

Consider this:  Has DCPS issued your child a device?  Has DCPS *ever* issued your child a textbook, not counting math workbooks?[/quote]

Apologies, I am an ES teacher. There is nothing digital beyond iReady at my school. Very sad this is not the norm... these kids deserve better. My child is not yet on school so I am not as well versed about MS/HS.[/quote]
