Should schools start cutting down on kids use of technology -AJ

• As schools have been introduced to new methods of teaching and greater ways for the average youth to learn the average child's mind has been evolving. Since, the digital revolution had occurred, many schools have created big changes that especially involves a higher usage and dependence on technology for everyday class. Kids have had a daily share of technologies that can range from daily used iPads', smartphones, laptops, computers, and smart boards, etc.. A common issue resulted is if whether new generation has been taken advantage of having these electronics provided for them in school.
• Many parents may agree that their child or others maybe misusing their technologies in their classrooms. For Example, a father in Robbinsville, New Jersey had supported that kids have been misusing school provided electronics from experiencing an issue with his own son. At that central middle school, the school board of education has been providing many new electronics such as iPads, and computers for every students academic usage. The father's son had gotten his ipad and laptop which he was allowed to also take home for any schoolwork and homework. The kid was extremely excited with his new devices.
• When the first semester had started the father had seen his son on the devices a lot, and when the dad asked why he spent so much time on them the kid had replied by saying that he was getting a lot of schoolwork. The father hade asked because his son was spending so much time on his devices and kept on giving the same answer for why. When the first semester was coming to an end the parents could access grades from a private parent portal on the schools website, so that's what the father did. He had found out that his son had gotten a mix of c's and d's in every single subject. The father was curious because the grade were computer based meaning they were all done on the laptop. When the son got home the dad checked on his laptop and found his son doing inappropriate thing, so the father asked the school to take away his son privileges of using the devices.
• In the story above a student had misused the device the school had provided for him and it had cost his grades. Many parents though have believed that schools should giving more independence with school technology. Many parents believe that their children have been expanding there capacity of learning through being given a wider privilege to use their school devices. For example, if someone had been sick for a very long time and had been missing a quite a bit of school, it would be difficult for them to catch up on all he work when they come back to school. Now teachers can email kids on school devices all the things that they need to complete, and the kids can complete and send them back without any stress.
• Many schools have been aware of the new issue that kids have been misusing many school devices doing many inappropriate things, so there has been many solutions. Teachers can now see every students activity on devices, they can shut down certain apps, websites, or even lock students out of their devices when inappropriate activity has been sensed. In my opinion, schools have taken a big step into leading students or the new generation into a path of success.
