[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My elementary and middle school-aged children all have entirely screen-free educations. They don't have phones or ipads either. It's...amazing.[/quote] And how much do you pay for that privilege? [/quote] My kid is at a largely screen-free middle school that is a public charter in DC. All classes involve handwritten note taking, and even the writing class required handwritten essays at this point. the ONLY screen he has used in two years was for one essay, and they used a computer that was not connected to the internet to type it. [/quote] name? There are a lot of things I appreciate about my kid’s DCPS MS but if I knew then what I know now, I absolutely would have tried to get into that charter. the only caveat is that I think it’s a good idea to get the kids writing on computers by MS, and they do need to learn how to research online. But the “ed tech” apps need to die a slow painful death. [/quote]
