[quote=Anonymous]It's the games!!! DCI parent here. We're NOT anti-tech.

How many parents think it's OK for kids to play multi-player online games at school, on a school issued laptop at 10am? The day has just begun and kids are in online chats with anyone in the world. Yes, most players comments are innocent enough,  "you suck" "bleep gun is best". But then there's always that weirdo who feels compelled to discuss how he took his girl doggie style last night. Really!

All this while teachers try their best to engage kids in other activities and admin smiles to themselves that they are providing youth culture to  "kids who couldn't otherwise be able to afford personal devices." Quoted because the principal has stayed this numerous times.

Or what about kids who could care less about games but want to learn? They need to sit next to that student whose constant attempts to play is distracting. Teacher needs to spend time "disciplining" for something that can easily be shut off.

The admin is deluding themselves that they are breaking the digital divide.

Feeders, you have the power to change this. Complain to your own admin, pressure DCI at their info sessions. Especially for Chinese and French, DCI NEEDS you.[/quote]
