[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]RE WIS - both middle and high school students can use devices/go online during lunch. FWIW Burke is same for Middle and High School. [/quote] WIS and DCI are schools that serve very different demographic populations (wealth, parental education, etc). DCI students, generally, are/will be much poorer than WIS students (negligible poverty). That also makes DCI students much more academically vulnerable. If this is really WIS' policy, I think that it is also making a foolish choice. However, WIS' students have a lot more resources to mitigate the effects of too much daily screen time (i.e., private academic tutors/counselors/educational consultants, etc). Very few DCI students will be able to access these types of resources and professional expertise when they are diagnosed (or most likely not diagnosed) with ADD and the like.[/quote]
