[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCI was just awarded 300k. I guess it's more technology for all![/quote]

$300k specifically for technology?  You're sure it's not for facilities renovation?  What's the source on this?[/quote]

current dci parent here. I posted up thread and was shouted down for being lax with my tweens brain.
 this thread is  hilarious and hysterical all at once....it's obvious that so many of you have so little clue about what is is real and what is not with kids in middle school. you keep believing that you can dictate when and how your kids will communicate when they are in middle school and high school. you are in for a rude awakening. remember in the 1950 when TV was going to eat all of our brains from the inside out?....I guess that didn't pan out either. 
my kid has a cell phone. he has used it responsibly. it is not web enabled because he has no use for that while going about his daily business away from a computer. it is a tool for communication...you know like a phone was always meant to me. has it rotted his brain? no, but it has made reaching him at he metro's home a lot simpler. and he also talks with his friends via text until it's time put the phone up and do homework eat dinner etc. all without making him an antisocial dolt. it's a miracle!
he does use chromebook a lot for homework. he also uses workbooks and texts and reads from paper books. there is balance. what is unbalanced is all the outrage and descent from parents who's kids are still in grade school and CANNOT BELIEVE what is going on in a school their kids don't go to yet. sure things are still being worked on and worked out...the school is young. it's also packed with fantastic learning opportunities which have been occurring both onscreen and off. 
and fyi the 300,000 will be used in large part to fund international trips for the kids which seems like a worthwhile goal. [/quote]
