[quote=Anonymous]There are classes that are offline like Gym, Drama, and Art is mostly offline.  The art teacher uses a projector to display artwork.

The previous poster was correct.  All things in moderation.

I grew-up in a house with TV's in every room including my bedroom.  I went to sleep with TV on and woke up with it on.  I am successful college graduate who is a productive citizen.   That being said all parents have to decide what they believe is best for their child.

I have one TV in my house and it is located in the family room.  My son has at most two (2) hours of TV time during the school week.  May be fifteen (15) some mornings when I'm listening to weather and traffic. He gets to play video games 2 hours a day over the weekend among our many other activities.  Some may call me strict but like I stated [all parents have to decide what they believe is best for their child].

Does your child have a cell phone?  You would not need to worry that your child is on their phone during brunch/lunch, if they didn't have one.  Remember researchers say that the radiation that cell phones emit are harmful to our children.

I hope these aren't that same researchers who tell me every other decade that meat, eggs, and milk are bad, then they say that "new research" refutes that claim.

I'm not trying to be sarcastic.  I understand the concern.  I just wish a more accurate picture of DCI were being portrayed.  It is the responsibility of the administration and current parents to ensure that you have all the information needed to make an informed decision.

In the end, I understand that DCI will not be a good fit for every family.  I would just hate for a family to pass this school over based on incorrect information.  My son loves DCI and I am pleased with what I have seen thus far.
