[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dr. Reid and central off said last year that teachers need to get back to pen and paper. Less google slide assignments and no you tube real alouds, etc. But it is not translating down to the schools and curriculum services hasn’t been able to re write and take out old slide decks from the Covid time.

They need to take the 1:1 laptops out of the ESes and mandate a max amount of time kids can be on the laptops doing work. [/quote]

I agree with K-3 should have limited tech usage. [b] I do think 4-6 should have daily tech usage[/b]. [/quote]

Curious as to why? It's not like they don't get plenty of tech in their "non school" hours. I have never seen any research done showing kids learn better on laptops. [/quote]
Speak for yourself, my kids get very little tech in their non school hours. They don't have their own devices, they don't watch YouTube or play video games. They watch maybe 30 minutes of tv a day which is FAR less than I did at their ages.[/quote]

Ditto. Between 1-2 hours a week of the Netflix/Disney show or movie of her choice. I do not restrict the content as long as it is kid-appropriate. It can be National Geographic one time or My Little Pony the next.[/quote]
