[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Check your kid's Chromebook History. Tons of game time dressed as research or education. It all happens during instructional time - 10AM-12PM. Principal is cautious and always defers to Central Office. [/quote]

So what can we do as parents? I know this is an issue for my son. He’s just very addicted to all the games. At home we control it with a lot of sports, activities and he has to read physical books. We just don’t give him enough free time to get on his laptop. We have zero control at school and teachers keep saying he’s off task. Why are teachers complaining to me when I can’t do a single thing to help it. I’ve told him he needs to pay attention to his teacher but he says his school work is done (and it is done. He gets excellent grades). Schools is giving him crack and then complaining to parents that the kids are addicted. Except we don’t have these problems at home because we redirect and don’t just set them on laptops all day.

And I’m not anti teacher. I think the admin and school board have done this to our kids. My kids had never had screen time before K other than a few plane rides and some family movie nights. [/quote]
