[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another thing: why in the world did DCPS put Minecraft on my children's devices and how can I disable it? [/quote] Minecraft for Education is great. Your child is probably going to use it in one of their classes. [/quote] Edited to add, start here if you are interested: https://education.minecraft.net/ https://education.minecraft.net/chemistry[/quote] I'm sure it can be useful, but it's also addictive. Now I have to monitor usage of an addictive game app with some educational usefulness, on a school-provided device that we're supposed to trust our kids alone with for long stretches of time. How is that going to work? Now, plenty of kids will spend their "independent work" time between whole class Teams video just Minecrafting away, and will show up to the next whole class or small group meeting saying "sorry, I didn't do the assigned work because I didn't understand it. Can you explain?"[/quote]
