[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fairfax County’s lower tier high schools often do not have adequate text books or supposed digital access for all of their students. It makes a big difference.

Separately, there’s abundant research indicating a hand -brain connection that increases learning. Tablets, etc. Do not provide this. There’s way too much computer use in elementary classrooms. There’s also way too much curriculum pushed down to younger children. We’ve created a rush on anxiety disorders and and other real problems bc we don’t let children develop normally.

Slowing things down with books instead of dancing cartoons and flashing colors will help with the absorption of material.

In DC but so agree with this. The reliance on videos for learning as young as PK and K is disturbing. Yes, a YouTube video with an ABC song that you can play over will teach kids their ABCs yes. It will also acclimate them to learning everything via a video. Just sing your freaking ABCs like we used to. Use books and cards and write on a board. TALK to kids. It might take longer in the short run but it might save them from total screen addiction in the long run, which seems worth it to me.[/quote]

Agree. People who don’t see the issue with video are 150% naive. Beyond naive.[/quote]
