[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does parent advocacy have any chance of reducing the use of screens in schools or even in an individual classroom? [/quote]

Zero chance. And a question to ponder..... Does teacher advocacy have any chance of reducing the use of screens at home????

Also...my students are rarely on their Chromebooks. Is that where the parent concerns are? Are you all going to fight for their to be less screen use in college too? Teaching students how to properly utilize screens is important. It's part of life.

I use the Boxlight to teach with bc it's efficient and engaging. I'm not showing them YouTube videos all day long on it or anything....[/quote]

DP it is not my imagination that my kids' teacher used YouTube videos instead of reading books to kids in kindergarten. My kid memorized the sound effects.[/quote]

Maybe offer to buy the books the teachers need for them so they don’t need to find them online. [/quote]

I would be happy to buy anything the teachers ask for, but approaching the teacher months later when my kid tells me what's going on and saying "Hey I heard you are showing kids YouTube videos of common children's books instead of reading them in person, I am happy to buy it for you" seems passive aggressive and not likely to go well for me.[/quote]

This post makes me laugh at the discrepancy within our county. You’ll buy a read aloud book that will be read once a year, yet the parents in my school can’t purchase pencils. Teachers cannot and should not be expected to pay for a real aloud book that is used 1x a year. The school should provide it. If it’s not in the building, then we use the next best option. [/quote]
