[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mark my words, the way these kids use the laptops during school time is going to be a major problem.

Kids are going to surf the web and youtube etc.

It's going to be a major problem and the schools have no recourse because online learning in person is not part of the education curriculum or agreed upon method of teaching as per VDOE guidelines. [/quote]

It's easy for the schools to block that. [/quote]

They don't. They can't since teachers use it every day.[/quote]

They refuse to block it and find a different way for teachers to do stuff. Absurd but there it is. [/quote]

They don’t block the entire site but they block a LOT of the videos. Pretty much any music video and a lot of stuff that would legitimately be deemed educational. I BOUGHT The Crucible on YouTube to show scenes to kids and the district internet wouldn’t allow me to play it

I feel like some of you have only JUST realized this year after seeing it in your own homes that we only have so much control over kids who want to screw around. They will find a way. Yes we remind them a few times but honestly, even my kids with IEP goals to stay on task have 2-3 prompts to do that. Why? Because anything beyond that is absurd, ineffective, and taking time away from kids actually trying.

If your kid is determined to screw off and play games or watch youtube at home, then guess what: they will do it at school too. I am not there to personally babysit and monitor one off task kid. I will redirect and then say “you’re making a choice to not engage in learning and there are consequences to your choices.” Work on self regulation and impulse control if your kid can’t manage this.

Here we are, blaming 2nd graders for having lousy impulse control on a laptop.

Because we all would have done so much better using a laptop then? Parents are complaining because it's inappropriate.  Whether or not laptops are inappropriate for HS students is one question. For ES?  There's no question.[/quote]
