[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally am good with banning all screens at school and at home until HS. Clutch your pearls - trust me this is actually better and doable.

My kids don't have devices and they are fine and social. When they get access to our devices they are fine too. No devices in bedrooms; and hours and hours of disengaging from reality.

But chrome books is 100% different than kids with phones.

1. [b]School issued devices operate with the school wifi so guess what you can't access PORN; violent videos etc[/b]
2. Your darling kids with their phones are looking at porn. They do it on the bus; they do it in class; they show other kids.

No no my child is using the phone to watch Roblox, and cat videos and texts with their friends. No they are watching violent porn.

You must mean the poor east of the park; no your kid; west of the park with a two car family HHI family.

You give them a data plan, you put no controls on the phone and they do what kids do.

BTW saw the saddest thing; Mommy lugging DS' backpack to the car so he could sit in the front seat with his device after school. He couldn't be bothered to carry his own backpack, he had to get to his drug super quick. Pathetic.

But but I need the devices so I can work, do calls etc. 1. You don't. 2. You have trained your kid to be addicted to devices and you need to get them and you rehab.

Child survived for centuries without devices. They were bored; they figured out how to fix their boredom without their parents micromanaging them.[/quote]

You overestimate the DCPS internet filters and underestimate kids’ ability to work around them.[/quote]

+1. My kid at DCI reports some kids watching some wild stuff on school issued Chromebooks. [/quote]
