Subject: Any ADW Catholic schools with less screen time in 4th-8th?
Any feedback on St. Elizabeth in Rockville tech usage? I've been pleased with the minimal amount used in grade 3 and under.

My kids were in no tech schools, and they have no problem using technology. One is majoring in CS and both built their own computers at home at while still in grade school. I assure you, no kid today is struggling to learn to use technology because they didn't use tablets in school.
I highly doubt that my child could learn to program a computer if he isn’t exposed early to IXL learning and other apps.
lol…

No issue. AI is going to do all the coding soon.
To be honest, AI can do most white collar jobs. Probably won’t be much point in sending kids to school at all soon.

Our Lady of Lourdes in Bethesda is very much low-tech. Focus is on less screen time, more time with family, being outside, etc.

We have heard mixed reviews of the middle school teachers at our school, including some that were very recently hired with no prior teaching experience. Similar to the OP’s question, are there ADW schools with strong middle school teachers and instruction? TIA!
OP here, I think you’re on to something, maybe the problem I’m seeing isn’t the amount of tech usage, but maybe I just need to compare our school to other ADW middle schools, and I’m not sure we’d measure up.
