[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I could find a no or very low tech school in my area, I would send my kid there in a heartbeat. But even the Catholic schools in my non-DC area use more technology than I would like. It's so frustrating. We're a minimal tech household. School is giving my pushback because apparently we're the only family in second grade who checked the "do not assign my child a a personal device to use at school or home, they will use a community device at school." My second grader does not need his own Chromebook!

School wants all technology all the time, yet so many summer camps advertise "SCREEN FREE!" because parents want kids off devices.

We should create a list of tech-free schools.  Ones I know of include the Waldorf schools in the area and probably some privates such as St. Rita's, Veritas and Angelus Academy in Springfield, VA.  Small, independent schools have a real opportunity here to differentiate themselves.  Good old textbooks, pencils and notebooks are the real future for a good education.  K-8th grade.[/quote]
