[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes.  They get Chromebooks.

Used to be that MCPS would not introduce Chromebooks until later, around 2nd grade.  But now, the kids are on Chromebooks as early as K.

The reliance on screens in MCPS is actually pretty bad in ES.  Ask your kid to show you what websites they use and what they enjoy doing on the Chromebooks.  It’s pretty eye-opening.  Most of the websites are pure trash.

This is a big reason we chose private school. No Chromebooks at all. [/quote]

Your child will fall so far behind that they will never be able to catch up. My kid in K is already programming on her Chromebook and the interactive math curriculum she's using is amazing![/quote]
Your kid in K is already programming? Never hurts to keep dreaming. Interactive math curriculum? ST math? Dreambox? Wow, such novel programs for learning math! Your kid will be so far ahead they'll be tutoring others at Kumon soon enough![/quote]

They managed to complete DragonBox and Beast Academy Online earlier in the year but are now working toward an AIME qualifying score. [/quote]

We’re supposed to be impressed that your kid spent enough time on an app that they did everything offered by it? That sounds awful.[/quote]
