[quote=Anonymous]This makes me so sad- technologically has taken over public school and there is no way back. Parents have no say or options here. Accept the screens or go private.

And most privates are full of screens.

We are seeing how bad screens can be - but no one cares. Schools own your kids and decisions made by school boards will impact every kid with no chance for parents to alter that- sounds alarmist- but you try asking for no screens? It’s just not an option.

What’s the outcome? Kids will definitely have more be more myopia- many more will need glasses earlier in life.  Many won’t learn to write by hand as well as prior generations. This will translate to less ability to organize information and translate it into written work.  Overall we won’t “grow “ our academic capacity as much.  However kids can be exposed to much more information on screens.  However they will be unsupervised and many will just watch YouTube and play video games much of the day.

Any way, whether the impacts are good or bad- doesn’t matter- you have no control. Schools are conducting mass experiments on our kids and we just have to watch and see what happens.[/quote]
