[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there any parents out there interested in organizing around tech use in MS? My kid is already mid-elementary so while I totally support any effort to get tech out of younger grades (solidarity), I'm also looking down the pike to MS and would love to see more focus on physical books. Also if there are parents on here with experiences in DCPS MS regarding tech, what can you share? Our IB is Stuart-Hobson, which I'm enthusiastic about, but I've also heard from neighbor kids that it's a lot of chrome book use.[/quote]

You cannot get “tech out of schools” any more than you can get tech out of the workplace. for example I doubt you want your kid to have to hand write everything through MS and HS; and I doubt you want to block the use of the Internet for bona fide research and reading.

Instead of a nebulous and annoying campaign against “tech” you need to focus on specific subjects and how they are taught. For example, dig into how math is being delivered at SH. [/quote]

Good job misquoting me, judging me for opinions I did not express, and then repeating what I said only with different words and claiming it was your idea. Am I at work? Are you my male colleague who is 10 years younger, less qualified, and yet bizarrely overconfident in his wrongheaded approach to work? It's uncanny.[/quote]

Are you the PK3 mom who thinks she knows everything? Good luck to you. [/quote]

No, since you can't read I'll repeat myself -- I have a kid in mid elementary and my post was the opposite of assuming I know everything. I literally asked for input from parents with MS kids to share their experience so I can learn more about what tech use is like in DCPS at the MS level. Do you have kids in MS in DCPS? I'm guessing no since you couldn't answer my question and had NOTHING helpful to add. Move along, dear.[/quote]
