Schools Are Banning Phones. What About Laptops?

Computers in class might actually hurt students.

The article was mentioning their kid was online all day.  That’s not typical.   Kids use it inappropriately to play games (boys) but that’s not a reason to stop using computers.

What do parents hope to gain by not integrating computers into the school day?  [/quote]

I would ban all computers from elementary school. I can't believe they give Ipads to kindergartners. They ruin kids' attention spans. They present too many tempting distractions (and seem like a complete nightmare for kids with ADHD). I think they're generally associated with lower academic performance. It's all the same reasons why schools ban phones. I want my kids doing everything by hand. They can learn about computers later. There's plenty of time for that. [/quote]

More often than not, their attention spans have already been ruined by the time they arrive in kindergarten. It’s rare to have students who don’t have their own devices at age 5.

DP. This makes me so sad. My oldest's first device was the laptop she had to get for school in 7th.[/quote]
