[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in Falls Church City schools where the superintendent is totally going for it. Too much in my opinion, there is no need, and I feel it is in detriment of other things. 
They have lots of iPads in K and 1st grade, and we have been told that they use even more technology in 2nd grade. 
I am kind of against it because I feel that having iPads or even laptops at this age [b]does not really teach kids about technology, they just use technology to learn things that I feel are better learnt in other ways[/b].[/quote]

Exactly.

And the vast, vast majority of kids could use less time in front of screens, not more.
I do not want this for my children.
There is so much that can be learned without these devices.
I might be more extreme than PP, but I would prefer that my children did not have any of this kind of technology at all in elementary school.  Learning to type in the older grades, maybe.
This is one of the things that leads me to consider homeschooling (if I don't find a job)[/quote]
