Our (allegedly very good for our state) elementary school gives the Kindergarteners iPads. Not to take home—I think they wait until 3rd grade or something for that complete fucking nonsense—but during much of the school day. Their free time in lower grades is iPad shit. Mediocre edutainment games. Having the iPad read books to them. That ends up being quite a bit of their day. Meanwhile they have under half an hour of recess. Talk about screwed up priorities.



Do you know what occupies kids really well so you don't have to do your job? Ding, ding, ding.

In all honestly knowing how harmful those devices are to development of kids this should be banned. Do your job and take care of kids that were trusted to you.
