[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, here is my official screen time response. This is from the OP. I think screens should be banned for kids from K to five. I think we should return to work books with handwriting, phonics, awareness, phonemic awareness, and everything else that goes along with the research that supports our kids in learning how to read and write.

As a fellow educator, thank you for your opinion. I couldn't disagree more. There are so many powerful ways to leverage tech in school and minimizing it as screen time doesn't really help acknowledge the fact that tech is prevalent in children's lives[/quote]

What about the effect of screens on developing brains and the kids' attention span?

What about parents who try to limit screen time--consistent with recommendations of the vast majority of health experts--only to have their efforts undermined by a few teachers that decided kids screen-time works well for them and their limited, short-term purposes?[/quote]
Exactly. 7:07 remains silent. Screens are an absolute negative for young children.[/quote]

I wasn't looking for a discussion, just wanted to include a different opinion. You are entitled to yours! [/quote]
