[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another article for those that are interested.  This article mentions a Vanderbilt study that suggest typing produces better quality writing. I will try and find it.

The title of that article is "Research: Handwriting Spurs Brain Activity; Typing Doesn't"[/quote]

Please STOP with this research. OK, handwriting is better. We get it. Current DCI parent here. The problem is NOT the screen-time use for educational content. It's the God Damn Video Games the school feels compelled to let kids access, in the Classroom, at lunch and just try to get a 12 yr boy to focus on homework.  Whenever I tell this to friends they usually respond with Are you Serious? That or WTF? [/quote]

The school DOES NOT let kids access games in the classroom. If you can't manage your own kid's homework behavior, that's on you. Grow up or go elsewhere.
