[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not a current parent but I have attended an open house. The kids use chromebooks to complete assignments and read books. If you go to the DCI website, you will see kids are encouraged to learn typing and the summer homework for rising 6th graders must be typed.  At the open house parents asked about using paper and the school seems willing to let kids read books but I am not sure about handwriting assignments.

For a variety of reasons, tech policy included, we decided not to attend DCI.  I strongly suggest attending an open house to get more information to see whether it would be a good fit for your DC[/quote]

Shouldn't we start acknowledging that this is the world we live in now? Don't we want our kids to be tech savvy since writing has gone out the window in just about every profession? I don't get the resistance to tech.[/quote]

+1  Everyone write on a computer now.  No one writes by hand on paper except kids in elementary school learning to read and write.  I don't know anyone who writes on paper who is a grown up.  I am a lawyer and submit everything electronically from a computer.  If it is on paper, it gets scanned into a computer,  a needless extra step.   It's just easier to have everything on a computer in the first place.[/quote]
