Correction: a private that doesn’t utilize screens for teaching.  Many do, unfortunately.  [/quote]

+1 Even many (most?) parochial schools are using chromebooks or iPads to have kids do work through apps. It isn't ALL bad to submit assignments electronically through Google Classrooms. What's actually bad is the "learning" apps like Dreambox, IXL, etc. and not having actual physical copies of articles to read. Handouts and packets of yore are now pdfs.[/quote]

Our parochial doesn’t use iPads for teaching, but it does for enrichment and math fact practice. So they do math homework and lessons (and all their other subjects) through textbooks and workbooks, but they get daily or almost daily time on the iPad to do math ahead grade level. It’s maybe 10 minutes a day at the end of math class. So far there has been zero homework involving screens - it’s all on paper. I am ok with this limited amount of screen use at school. [/quote]
