[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there any parents out there interested in organizing around tech use in MS? My kid is already mid-elementary so while I totally support any effort to get tech out of younger grades (solidarity), I'm also looking down the pike to MS and would love to see more focus on physical books. Also if there are parents on here with experiences in DCPS MS regarding tech, what can you share? Our IB is Stuart-Hobson, which I'm enthusiastic about, but I've also heard from neighbor kids that it's a lot of chrome book use.[/quote]

I organized for more tech use in MS, because without apps, my kid would have learned nothing. The teachers have their hands full dealing with social/emotional issues and 7th graders who read at a 1st grade level.[/quote]

PP here who has been arguing against apps in MS. I understand this take and in fact this is why I am sympathetic to some teachers and admins who have adopted digital curriculums. It is a consequence of DCPS failing to differentiate. I can fully understand why a teacher who has a math class ranging in ability from 1st to 9th grade would think an adaptive, “self-paced” app-based approach could work. In our school the math department is painfully figuring out this doesn’t work… but honestly I don’t blame them for trying since the sensible route of tracking isn’t allowed. [/quote]
