[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP sounds like the sort of parent who doesn't let their kid play video games at home. It makes sense that their kid would binge on games at school whenever he has the chance. [/quote]

NP here and when I complain the school blames me for allowing video games at home.  You blame parents for not allowing them.

It’s almost like what parents do at home doesn’t matter and the Chromebooks themselves are the problem.   [/quote]

+1. It's much easier to blame parents than deal with the rot in the system, but parents aren't the problem.[/quote]

The pivot to screen use in elementary is the root of the problem, everyone knows it, but it will take years for public schools to go back to pen and paper, if they ever do. So in the meantime, parents need to adjust expectations. Video games in school are going to happen to a certain extent, depending on the teacher and the kid. What are you going to do outside of school, as the parent? Before screen use in schools, it's not like schools taught more stuff. It's just that kids wasted their time in other ways...[/quote]

Districts are purchasing some of the games.[/quote]
