I have a real aversion to all electronics for kids. I think it diminishes their quality of life. So when my kids have to open their laptops to do their homework, I kind of cringe. But I have seen the beauty in it a bit lately. At least from school, there is no forgotten homework, because it is all online. You can also see their up-to-the-minute grades in each class. (This is a double-edged sword) And you can voice-talk into the microphone to have any and all Chinese tested for annunciation. So although I may be the leader of the resistance, I can see a teeny silver lining.
And a huge silver lining for us…is that Scout no longer has to write down his “homework”. It is all digitally assigned, so we know when we are getting the whole story, and not the partial story with a little bit of “i am not going to tell my parents, because I can finish it during first recess”.
