[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there any parents out there interested in organizing around tech use in MS? My kid is already mid-elementary so while I totally support any effort to get tech out of younger grades (solidarity), I'm also looking down the pike to MS and would love to see more focus on physical books. Also if there are parents on here with experiences in DCPS MS regarding tech, what can you share? Our IB is Stuart-Hobson, which I'm enthusiastic about, but I've also heard from neighbor kids that it's a lot of chrome book use.[/quote]

You cannot get “tech out of schools” any more than you can get tech out of the workplace. for example I doubt you want your kid to have to hand write everything through MS and HS; and I doubt you want to block the use of the Internet for bona fide research and reading.

Instead of a nebulous and annoying campaign against “tech” you need to focus on specific subjects and how they are taught. For example, dig into how math is being delivered at SH. [/quote]

Good job misquoting me, judging me for opinions I did not express, and then repeating what I said only with different words and claiming it was your idea. Am I at work? Are you my male colleague who is 10 years younger, less qualified, and yet bizarrely overconfident in his wrongheaded approach to work? It's uncanny.[/quote]

Are you the PK3 mom who thinks she knows everything? Good luck to you. [/quote]

No, since you can't read I'll repeat myself -- I have a kid in mid elementary and my post was the opposite of assuming I know everything. I literally asked for input from parents with MS kids to share their experience so I can learn more about what tech use is like in DCPS at the MS level. Do you have kids in MS in DCPS? I'm guessing no since you couldn't answer my question and had NOTHING helpful to add. Move along, dear.[/quote]

Calm tf down. Yes I have a kid in DCPS MS and that is exactly why I know what I am talking about. You seem to only want to be surrounded by pearl-clutchers mad that their PK3 kid saw an episode of Dora at school. [/quote]

I literally asked for parents with kids in DCPS MS to share what their experience is with tech in MS. Rather than do that, which would have been helpful, you told me to "dig in to how math is being delivered at SH." Do you have useful info or not? I actually don't yet believe you actually have an MS kid because no one on this thread has actually shared their experience with MS except the one person who said they advocated for more apps because teachers are spending all their time on behavioral issues and trying to help kids reading at a 1st grade level. Which isn't really a defense of apps so much as an indictment of the entire system.

Also, btw, you are assuming that I share all of the opinions of everyone else posting. I don't. But rather than make fun of and criticizing everyone, I'm trying to have a productive, proactive conversation.

You just want to make fun of parents of preschoolers for... caring about their kids' education? Paying attention to research and recommendations about screen time for very young kids? Why? To make yourself feel good? No one cares how you feel, we're talking about how to improve schools for kids.[/quote]

I literally clued you in to the biggest thing to ask questions about at SH based on my current experience as a MS parent - math instruction. Sorry you are not getting the commiseration you desired about “screen time.” [/quote]

Be more specific or shut the f*** up.

I'm not looking for commiseration, I haven't even complained about a single thing. I'm looking for information and am interested in sharing ideas with people who have similar values to me. If that's not you, go medicate your personality disorder instead of antagonizing people for $hits and giggles online.

I feel bad for your kids and anyone who has to deal with you IRL, including your kids teachers, their friends, their friends parents, your neighbors, your family, and your coworkers. What a f***ing a$$hole.[/quote]

Hmm, I think your kid’s have bigger problems than screen time. Maybe you would be a happier person if you let them watch some YouTube videos while you do yoga. The intensity of your reaction is strange. [/quote]

I don't have to let my kids watch YouTube videos in order to do yoga because they will happily entertain themselves without screens while I do yoga or read or work or whatever I need to do.

My reaction is a direct response to your behavior. I'm guessing a lot of people react to you this way.[/quote]

Oh right, sure ok. [/quote]
