[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are surprised how integrated the screen device is embedded into our private school curriculum. All homework is completed in them, some textbooks are electronic only, all assignments come through the LMS, etc.

It feels very similar to our local publics, but I was hoping for less of screen time.

Anyone comment on their school; ours is small so Im reluctant to post as I have talked to the administrators about reducing screentime and was politely dismissed (not surprisingly, but a girl can try!).

What school is this? What grade?

My kid is in 3rd at Norwood. They don’t do any homework on a screen. They don’t even bring a device home.

They’ve learned how to type their essays, but shorter writing assignments are done by hand. They also used devices to research a non-fiction topic. I think the only other way they use devices is to play some math games if they finish math assignments early.

But overall, the screen time is very low. In K-2nd it was nearly nonexistent.[/quote]
