[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is an insidious money grab by companies that then can use the data pulled from the devices to create future consumers/more addicting material. There is a ton of research that states children and adults don't retain information nearly as well from screens than from reading a physical book. Screen time impacts students sleep, which also has huge implications on learning and IQ. Screen time also increases anxiety. I'm a professor, and my students increasingly come to me completely addicted to their phones, unable to focus, and with insane amounts of test anxiety. This is not what I want for my kids in kindergarten and I'm honestly freaking out about this. With 20 minutes a day of recess, and kids sitting around all day on computers--how in the world is this OK with everyone? Had I known about this, I would not have moved here.[/quote]

Where did you move from?

Honestly, it's a main reason we're biting the bullet, budgeting significantly, and sending our kid to private school. This is awful. [/quote]
