I think this is really needed. I fear that children might not learn how to write properly with such early use of devices. Welcome move
This is the #1 problem my kid is having at school
Yup. Pen and paper is how it should be.
Good there is valid evidence that the act of handwriting helps one learn better. Typing on a keyboard is essentially the same action over and over

>“I’m just so happy that they’re getting an analog education for now,” Frumin said.
>Parents across the country are taking steps to stop their children from using school-issued Chromebooks and iPads, citing concerns about distractions and access to inappropriate content that they fear hampers their kids’ education.
So the problem is not computers per se, but content been pushed to students.
Well they will need to get to computers/devices at some point, so nothing really changes, just they will need some catchup Vs the kids that can read and write, and have computer/device knowledge already.
Humanity is finally waking up to how gadgets actually shape a child’s development. It’s pretty heavy knowing that our generation is essentially the test group for the long-term effects.
I’m not against computers, but I remember when calculators couldn’t be used on tests in class until later on in high school which is what I think should also be considered. However, I have also heard that a computer might be cheaper than school books and less wasteful. What I like least about computers that kids can use them for games, social media, etc so getting that locked down should happen.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s an uptick in homeschooling
We have to find the right balance between using tech and letting kids build their own skills. It’s the only way.
We home school our son but I was 100% going to buy my him his own laptop instead of him using a government owned computer.
It’s the same logic as why I never do anything personal on my work machine. It’s not mine therefore they can see any and everything I do on it.
I’ve heard so many stories of teachers looking at students browsing history and finding some Google search and then the kids being suspended.
If I own the hardware I could then tell my son to never unlock it for anyone at the school to see. If they threaten him I would tell them to call me and I’ll take care of it. His computer use isn’t any of their business.
I am so happy to hear that parents in the US are not falling for the big tech bs.
This is also extremely uncommon in school at this point. Laptops aren’t going anywhere.
Good.
Obviously computer literacy classes still need to exist but kids shouldn’t be forced to do all their learning online, especially public school programs who may have low-income students without a reliable internet source.
Smh, this some boomer reasoning going on in this thread. Technology is what is, and you can hamstring your children and make them do outdated things if you want, but you’re only holding them back. Things change and we change along with it.
Now do the phones….
I can assure you students will spend more time on there parent provided cell phone using social media then there school provided digital device doing homework.
COVID came and they just dumped laptops on families and kids across the nation. I know there really wasn’t a choice, but that does not mean the consequences of that are any less on so many fronts.
Work for me is entirely computer based and i miss analog work, give these kids a break, please
I agree that writing on paper is important to learn, but shouldn’t we also put effort into teaching not only computer literacy but healthy computer literacy?
Is it not bad for their eye sight staring at screens all day?
Classical charters don’t allow computers. The kids become thinkers first. Cheating is easy on computers. The kids still have gpt write papers and copy by hand but it’s easier to catch.
This is absolutely what should be happening.
You learn better when you write something by hand than just typing
For many things, I think this makes sense.
Laptops/tablets can be a great tool and in some circumstances help advance equal opportunity in education.
At the same time, no matter what our tech bro overlords say, we’re all still the same squishy people from millennia ago. Learning is a sensory experience that is often best when shared with someone as directly as possible.
I would really like to see more schools go this route.
This was something I had a problem with in college 20 years ago, even if I didn’t appreciate it at the time. I spent a lot of time doing not paying attention in class and it showed in my grades.
I dislike staring at computers all day as well. Paper and pencil should be a required part of grade school at least sometimes.
We had computer class once a week in grade school. I think that is enough.
Everything else should be analog-
This is a good thing.
Computers have their place in life, but it should not be everywhere.
My kid’s laptop is one of the biggest distractions for him in school. Kid can’t stay focused in class with access to the internet. They can’t block youtube and other sites because the teachers use them. Teachers can’t provide all paper assignments to him because that’s too much work on them. Websites like Canvas aren’t used appropriately by teachers so kids don’t always have access to handouts, quizzes, notes, etc. If my kid loses a charger or the flimsy little chromebook gets damaged, I’m on the hook for the repair or replacements.
It sucks every way you look at it.
Tech is still needed but I do think there should be a time and place for it. They shouldn’t have access to it at all in Elementary school. Aside from teaching tech programs and teaching kids how to research for papers, I really think most things should be done on paper.
I’ve been saying that it’s useless trying to monitor „screen time“ when all the schoolwork is digital, too. I’m loving this backlash. Keep the hits coming.
Kids absolutely do need to learn to navigate and use technology, but they don’t need to be fully immersed like this to the point that they’re barely learning to write by hand.
They’ve done a bunch of studies and found that kids do not, in fact, learn as well from any screen versus a human being.
Something about us being biologically wired to learn from human beings.it makes sense. It’s just a way for governments to cut down on teachers and funding to schools. Let the Chromebook do the teaching.
