Why are kids able to install apps on school issued devices, why do they need iPads and not chromebooks and why does the school not lock down their network? All of this sounds like a waste of resources and poor IT practices. Finally, what the fuck is that mom doing instead of being a god damn parent?
The iPads from my kids school are so locked down, you can’t use YouTube app or in browser and you can’t participate in “Fortnite video game battles” you can only access learning tools and school assignments.
I doubt it’s the technology that’s the issue compared to parents not doing their job. Like, I do think too much screen time on kids is bad, and that it can have negative affects on some aspects of development.
But I don’t think it causes behavior issues. I’m so sick of people who’s parenting method is just „do as I say“ and when the kid pushes that boundary, as they do not because they’re kids but because they’re human, the parents take that as a sign that their kid is somehow defective.
I’m beyond over with people saying it’s the hardest job in the world to raise kids, it’s simply not. If every situation with your kid is lead not by teaching them how to solve emotional and logical problems but just instructing them, of course they’re going to have issues with logic and emotional control.
Schools need to lock these devices down properly. Monitor what your kids are doing, set boundaries at home. The iPad isn’t the problem, it’s the lack on both ends.
A friend of mine works at a school. The lady couple years ALL learning and testing was on iPad or chrome books. Test scores went downhill behavior problems increased, reading comprehension went down hill. This year, they dumped all that shit. Books, paper and writing and they are in the top 10 schools in the state. All day computer is detrimental to your health, well being and brain
Kids love to game. Will always be an issue when having iPads in class
Former public school teacher, now parent. The 1:1 technology in school is beyond useless, it’s harmful. I’m probably going to homeschool or find a low tech private school for my kid in part because of it.
I don’t want my kids to have a school issued iPad. If I want them to have an ipad I will get them one. I don’t want them to have one though so I am not buying them one.
Technology will always have ways to side step security. I remember when I was in school when they first introduced those colorful Apple computers in the computer lab we used turtlejar to get around the school firewall
PSA: Parents, your router likely has an app that allows you to turn off internet access to specific devices. Once the clock strikes 4, time to homework and chore.
Let me fuckin guess… Ain’t no goddamn security worth a shit on them.
If the people running the schools are that dumb, do you expect the kids to learn well?
Sounds like an MDM problem to me – specifically a lack of one or too lax of one. If the school board is going to design a curriculum that uses them they need to manage them properly.
One of the main arguments administrators make in this article is that they have to make devices accessible for students to take home to ensure „equitable“ access to technology.
That assumes there are households that don’t have access to technology at home. But if a household doesn’t have access to technology, what is the likelihood of the guardian in that household having the knowledge and skills necessary to encourage responsible use of those devices?
Like yes, parents *should* be responsible. But one of the roles of government is to account for the fact that many people can’t/won’t learn, and to enact policies and programs which still work in those situations.
Schools don’t need High schoolers and younger ob Ipads and whatnot. Give them a pen and a paper.
If they really must, let their homeworks (and only that) be own on a computer but only that
My kids are grown now, but school issued pads were the bane of my existence. I’ve never been a fan of allowing kids unlimited time on electronics and/or the internet. If the Gen Z stare has told us anything, more people should force their children off of electronics and make them socially interact. The schools apparently have other ideas.
My wife and I were dillegent about monitoring and controlling electronics time. Then the school ipads came. We had no parental controls. They needed them for school work, but then we had to hover over them to keep them from just watching YouTube instead of working. On their home devices I had parental control software. I would unlock their devices for their leisure time, but could also monitor what they were doing. I wouldn’t constantly look through every single thing that they ever did, I would just spot check to ensure they were being safe and responsible.
There were no parental controls on the school devices and the school administration would give us absolutely no help in regards to that. Even the school was having issues with it. I recall having a teacher’s conference where the one teacher was complaining that my son kept getting caught watching YouTube during class. That’s certainly something that we could try to address at home but why the hell do they have access to YouTube during class? He wasn’t watching it on his cell phone or tablet that he didn’t have access to YouTube on during the school day. It was their device that was the problem.
Its almost like you should pay attention to what your kids are doing. Schools are not at fault for what parents allow their kids to do on devices
I found the admin password for my school issued laptop in a text file that was just ‘hidden’. The year before many someone figured out updating the operating system unlocked a lot.
iPads are the least of the kids worries.
-The 30-35 kids per 1 teacher ratios.
-low standards
-excuse based culture making dumber and weaker kids(infantilization)
-no discipline(guess who benefits from this, hint they have shareholders who love braindead consumers)
Back when I was in school, I was given a laptop. Can’t do much with it except write documents and do spreadsheet stuff. Maybe some basic photoshop stuff but nothing more… why? Because the laptop’s CPU clock speed was at 333mhz.
That’s right… It’s 0.333 ghz. Not 3 ghz. Nope. 333 megahertz. It’s fucking slow to be used for gaming and that was the idea.
It could play a video… but playing it on a web browser is nearly impossible at 1080p.
I’m surprised they didn’t try to cap those ipads, or even lock them down proper. ffs.
I’m not exactly IT savvy but I truly feel like the best approach would be instead of playing whack a mole with black listing apps and websites, it would be better off having them bare bones only with white listing exactly what’s educationally necessary for the exact course content.
This has been weighing heavily on my mind and it’s a problem that’s getting worse. I’m a HS STEM teacher…I’m planning my next year’s curriculum to be screen free, save for exams and answer keys so they can check their work. The feedback I get from students is that they prefer pencil and paper anyways. They openly admit being distracted on their screens.
My child’s MATH tests are apparently going to be all on a tablet. It is absolutely insane that kids as young as 5 years old are going to be having digital exams, especially for a subject like math.
