[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The first year schools were back open (two years ago), my child's 5th grade report looked very similar--insane amounts of time spent on lightspeed. I raised it with the teacher in the parent-teacher conference --in the context of I was wondering whether little Larlo was not bringing paper work home because I never saw any--and she was very defensive about it.  Claimed FCPS encouraged them to avoid paper. That teacher also quit mid-way through the year and thne they had a series of subs so the screen time was an issue all year long. My child complained of headaches multiple times and I had to pick up early. I'm convinced it was from staring at that tiny laptop screen all day.

The next year it was a little better but still nothing like my older dc's education at the same school pre-covid. Pretty disappointing how much "Mr Math" youtube videos and such were relied upon, and they seemed to spend an insane amount of time on computer "group projects". [/quote]

The group projects in upper ES--always just slideshows-- are an incredible waste of time. They seem to finish the projects, and then there are days and days left where they just goof around doing nothing while other groups finish. This has happened over 4 different teachers with two different kids (same school). I don't think making slideshows is an important skill to learn in elementary school. [/quote]
