[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really think we need to get rid of these laptops for everything.  My kid is addicted and we can’t break the addiction because he needs the damn laptop for everything he does at school.[/quote]

Same!  We know our kids are addicted.  They're on their "devices" 24/7.  We have taken phones and iPads away but we cannot do the same for the school laptop.  I cannot even confiscate it and give it only for homework because they need it for almost every piece of homework that they have to submit.  I didn't have (or know) kids in high school prior to COVID so I don't understand what was done before COVID, but after COVID has been a disaster when it comes to technology consumption.  Then you get these news articles about how technology and the inability to do anything without digital technology are ruining the cognitive skills of young kids, just when they're supposed to be developing their cognitive skills ... ugh ... or that school districts in Silicon Valley are purposely going back to brick/mortar methods and not allowing any form of technology into their classrooms and you really wonder what we're setting our kids up for.
