[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Until schools are able to group kids by ability, the tech is going to stay. It’s the only way to keep the higher achieving kids occupied while the teachers focus on low performers.[/quote]

This. What will it take for schools to start tracking in early elementary?[/quote]

Agree in part. The other issue is behavior. Until teachers and principals are allowed to discipline and if needed even exclude children for repeated poor behavior, the we are going to use screens for that too. Remember when you could be told to sit alone in the hallway or “go to the principal’s office” for misbehaving?[/quote]

Right, now it’s go to the resource person or social worker and pick out your favorite snack. Take a walk instead of doing the math lesson. Of course kids keep on with their behaviors![/quote]

This is not a rationale for using screens in class.  The kids are clearly misbehaving regardless of screen use.  That is an separate issue. It makes zero sense to put the whole class on screens and to use these dumb EdTech programs.  It neither improves behavior or adequately teaches content. [/quote]
