[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sooooo much screen time in our elementary school, KMES. And now a portion of math is being sacrificed to “coding” in 3rd grade, which will likely contain almost no actual coding and really just be an excuse for more mindless “educational” screen time. And a million standardized tests that are also done on computers, and yet parents don’t get the results until months after the data ceases to be relevant or useful. I honestly think my kids are getting a worse education than I did at their age.[/quote] One of my kids did coding in 3rd grade (as an elective in the elective block, though, at a different ES). It was actually pretty decent instruction in Scratch with legitimate projects taught by our school-based technology specialist. I was pleasantly surprised as a computer programmer myself. Not that I think it should be replacing the 3 'R's, but it wasn't bad.[/quote]
