[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is anyone posting here an actual parent of a kindergartner? Geez. In my kid’s class they use the iPads at very specific times, for Lexia and one math program. It’s not every day and it’s not for very long in a given day. It has never come home and they charge at school using some type of charging station. I’m much more annoyed by the laptop my third grader has. It’s old and heavy and he has to lug it home to charge every day. They also seem to use it a LOT in that grade. It definitely feeds their screen and video game addictions. The kids spend a lot of time talking and thinking about how to access various games and websites on their school computers.

There’s a problem with tech use but it’s not in K.[/quote]

Almost no schools are sending ES laptops home nowadays. Is yours still doing that?[/quote]

Our FCPS school does. DS6 and DD9 both have to bring their laptops home to charge every night. It’s not an issue for my older one but my first grader literally cannot carry his backpack up the stairs of the bus without help. It looks like he’s training for a strongman competition. He had to carry his laptop home in kindergarten as well. Not to do work. Just to plug it in. [/quote]

Same. Our house is the charging station. [/quote]
