[quote=Anonymous]Am I the only DCI parent whose child has a notebook, workbooks and handouts?  My DC has to use paper and pencil for numerous assignments.  He often uses his workbook in Chinese/Mandarin and math. I know this because I look at his assignments in goggle classroom and check that they had been completed written/electronic.  When I have visited the school during lunch, I have heard ans seen a lot of what we would call traditional socializing.  especially during the warm months.  Many of the students are outside playing.  They also offer study hall (my DC attends 2x a week), and some groups/clubs meet during this time.

As for distractions, whether it's computers, passing notes, drawing or cell phones teacher will always have the challenge of keeping students on task and focused.  Teachers generally do not roam around the classroom looking at student work the entire time that they are class.  There are periods when the students are working independently and happy that the teachers are able to monitor what they're doing.  I like that they can shut the computer down if the students are not doing what they are supposed to do.

Hopefully, the parents (who have this issue) and the administration of DCI will will come to a compromise.  There just needs to be enough parents who voice their opposition and/or concerns to the administration.

If the policies and practices of DCI are not in line with how you would like your child to be educated, exercise your right of school choice.  Change generally does not happen over night.  Once the parents listserv is up and running hopefully the parents will able to better mobilize and vocalize their problems. issues, and concern to administration.
