[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you think 1:1 iPads in K is the mark of an excellent school—one that is up on the latest educational best practices, you are so very mistaken. [/quote]

Yes because paying 50k to avoid tech, which we will use for the rest of our lives, is what I want in a school. Avoiding tech is not advocated for any kids at any age and that whole trend has been started by MAHA moms or ironically enough MAGA tech bros in Silicon Valley. Good progressive education while teaching real-life tech forward skills is what our kids need. [/quote]

Not a tech-bro or MAHA whatever you'd like to dismiss me as. The data very clearly shows how test scores and attention plummeted in direct relation to the increase of tech use in the classroom. Tech is here to stay, but the argument that kids need to learn how to use it in Kindergarten is utter BS.[/quote]

Actually the data shows that test scores and attention plummeted in direct relation to increase use of tech in all of our lives. Use in the classroom is just an extra contributing factor not the sole factor. Therefore  moderated tech use in classrooms is not actually a bad thing.  But it needs to be combined with moderated tech use outside of school and replaced with things like reading, creative work, and letting kids figure things out.[/quote]
