[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.

Wrong.  Have met several current DCI parents who say this is definitely an issue.  Maybe not for your kid, but it's happening.[/quote]
