Allowed at school, really?!


No. The only electronics they are allowed to have at school are cell phones and ipods and both must be off and in their bags at all times. They are allowed to use them in the hallways and on their off periods in high school, but they can't be out at any time in middle school. If they get caught using them in class in any grade, they are taken and the parent has to come in to get it back. I see no reason why kids would need electronics in the classroom, they should be paying attention to the lesson, not messing with an electronic.

They can be great learning tools, depending on how they are used. It's a great way for teachers to incorporate technology in to a lesson even though the school may not have the money to buy one for each child. I don't know if I'd want my kid to share it with anyone else though. Some things I get for DD she's only allowed to use at home.



It has never been brought up, so I have no clue. As of right now, no, he isn't taking his Nook. Although he knows how to use it (carefully), others may not. You just don't know.
What surprised me is my daughter just started pre-K1 and the teacher was shocked and amazed she knew how to use the computer and the learning game they were playing.
I would love to know WHAT IS A SMART BOARD? They use them both in the Pre-K1 and Kinder. I have never heard of such a thing.
