[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids are bringing phones to school in early elementary?? We also moved to a different elementary in part due to screen use. The new one does use iPads but minimally - so far they have done one small research unit. And they use them in math for 25 minutes a day for a math facts app. DS is currently using it during the last half of math to work a grade and a half ahead. I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand I’d rather they have zero screens in 2nd grade. On the other, working a grade or two ahead throughout elementary math will help him get into more advanced math in middle and high school. I was surprised that the regular math track tops out at precalculus in high school, which seems really low. I’m not a math whiz AT ALL and even I took AP Calc as a senior. [/quote]

I am sorry to say that you need to be more vigilant about math. The apps really, really suck. And just because your child is working ahead on the app does not at all mean that he actually is learning the fundamentals the way he needs to be.
