[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you'll find many parents care less about that than you do. As your kids get older you may care less too. Not that it isn't important, but there are a lot of other very important concerns and reasons to choose a school. People's choice of ES/MS is heavily driven by academic performance and feeder pattern (and obviously those things are linked), and behavior and their own commute. People who care about low screen don't necessarily care enough to compromise the other factors.

Maybe you're thinking EOTP DCPS wants to attract more high income crunchy people who fret about this kind of thing. But you need to question that assumption. [/quote]

My kids are middle and high school and I car very much.  My middle schooler knows how to game the ed tech to get through it quickly and not learn (click three times and it gives you the answer etc).  My high school has adhd and a lot of interests, which means he is always sneaking off ed tech programs to watch youtube videos on his niche topics of interest.

Please - textbooks and worksheets and my kids would learn so much more!

Kids rush through classwork to play the dumb lame free games they can still get on their school devices.

plus, so much money saved without paying for tech.[/quote]
