[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading the thread on phones in classes. Everyone seems to agree that tech in classrooms is a problem. Has anyone succeeded in opting out of screens in the classroom? I know you can opt not to give your kid a phone, but what options exist for opting out of laptops/iPad in class? Has anyone been successful in fighting the tide?

I am in Montgomery County but curious about other places too![/quote]

In case no one has mentioned this yet, there’s a perfect solution for you- homeschooling. You can have zero screens and spend all your time coming up with lesson plans and teaching your own child without any technology. You can plan your own field trips, figure out how to provide art and music opportunities, not to mention solve for social interaction. But if that doesn’t work for you, free public education where you have to agree to their curriculum is an ok alternative, I guess. [/quote]

We haven't had an MCPS field trip in years even in ES, and arts and music are a joke as well as sports in MS.  We have to do all that outside MCPS.  Bad argument.[/quote]

My child has had three field trips this year and loves art and music. Funny how she's getting such a great educational experience at a school many dcum parents would sneer at.[/quote]
