[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Naw. Screens are an integral part of our lives. They belong in schools.

Not going back to slate and chalk. Nope. [/quote]

Boy are you going to be surprised.[/quote]

At what?

My kids grew up with screens in the classroom, one just graduated UVA Summa Cum Laude and has a professional services job in Manhattan where she is thriving (and working with screens, match). The other is a junior at Virginia Tech and also thriving. She is working toward a career in public health.

The kids will be ok. [/quote]

If your kids are grown, then they are not the same as the kids that are learning to read on laptops by playing a game where you have to rapidly jump a rabbit to get to the right phonetic sound - or fight another penguin to get to do a math problem. But you definitely will want to do something about it before your grandchildren get to school because they will also not learn if this continues. [/quote]

+1. Kids who are in or recently out of college right now did not go through elementary or even middle school when most students had access to a smartphone or tablet or even when all students were 1:1 with Chromebooks starting in kindergarten. [/quote]
