[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]

Another teacher here. This is a ridiculous response. The reality is that many children, especially middle and high school age, are on screens 24-7, and this is why all electronics should be banned in school. They should only be sparingly allowed at the teacher’s discretion. I teach HS and cheating using AI is rampant. Also, kids are coming to HS with extremely low reading and writing skills. Just the other day, I had my students read a short informational text, and several students flipped out and said that 3-4 paragraphs is too much reading for them and they need ChatGPT to summarize the main points. These are 11th graders [/quote]
