[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD tells me the kids play other games when they are supposed to be doing Prodigy (math game). She and her friend did a typing game, other kids can access Spacehuggers, and other things. They "read" books on Epic, watch Pebble Go and PBS kids. 
I don't think there is much you can do about it. Each kid gets a Chromebook that stays at school. Doesn't matter what you sign. The teacher needs to have the kids doing something otherwise it will be hard to pull kids for mandatory testing. [/quote]

Some of this is teacher specific. My kids have had teachers who used the Chromebooks a lot, and those who really seemed to shun them and didn't even assign readings on them. I think the best OP might be able to do is to ask that their child be assigned to one of the teachers who doesn't use the computers as much. [/quote]

This is good practical advice to follow while hopefully also pursuing a longer term solution through administrative channels.[/quote]
