[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are doing our best to keep our kids (elementary and preschool ages) in low-screen schools. There is 30 min/week of typing on a laptop, which is fine. Everything else uses paper textbooks and printed workbooks. There is a printed encyclopedia available for research. They have been taught in school that not everything on the Internet is true. I hope we get away from the heavy use of screens in most schools. IPads for pre-K and K just are not appropriate. [/quote] They also need to be taught that everything in school textbooks aren’t necessarily true either. The NYT shows the same textbook, one used in Texas and one used in California. They weren’t the same though. Facts were omitted from one or the other and some were not facts at all. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/01/12/us/texas-vs-california-history-textbooks.html They will learn which websites are reputable by middle school. Same with books. [/quote]
