My kids’ school issued ipads to all high school kids last year. Student usage was mainly for email, social media, browsing, videos and music. Actual academic use was below 40%. This year the kids don’t even carry them because the school up’ed the filtering to prevent all the above processes (which I agree with) unless a teacher clears the app for class. Usage is about 5%.
Totally worthless.
I have a neighboring family in this apartment complex. They are pleasant and polite. They are most likely illegal, but around here, that is losing any meaning, except as another way to qualify for benefits. I only bring this up as background. This family has 7 year old son, who is constantly playing with computerized toys as he and his little pals sit on the brick steps of this apartment building. I would bet you anything that any of these children, still learning english, could find a way to get around their lesson plan, and over to their game sites if they had enough time. They are like worker bees, and learn together as they play.
