[quote=Anonymous]22.03 again. After witnessing how much time kids are on screens in school now (more than 50%), I feel like I want to provide non-screen time. We didn’t grow up with tablets in class. Computer class was a set time once or twice per week (if that). I remember watching educational movies during inside recess, but class time didn’t involve media until high school (when we were comparing book form vs movie version vs theatre for Shakespeare). To me, when you have a child who is more comfortable grabbing a screen instead of talking or playing, it’s a problem. But that’s what I’m seeing, and it’s why I stand by my limits. I can require the teacher to inform me of how much time a child spends in front of the screen, what they are doing and why. I can’t make a fuss about the amount of screentime at school without separating that child from the rest of the class. I choose to manage the home/school balance this way after careful thought.[/quote]
