“Here is the machine where we cannot and will not stop you from playing games all the time and if we catch you playing games we will punish you for it, but it’s also super arbitrary because everybody’s playing, and if your parent asks us to not put it in front of you, we’ll listen for one (1) day.”
I’m genuinely very near “finding when my next county school board meeting is and reading a prepared speech” territory.
This feels like old man grumbling and yeah, it’s a little bit that. Kids have been dicking around in school ever since there was school. But I don’t know that schools have ever been like “here is your state issued dicking around machine, make sure it is open in front of you at all times.”
My wife and I are still navigating learning the seven apps we need to know to keep track of our kids’ school activities, none of which had tutorials or anything. And we’ve got four other kids.
I had to rush out and get my kid some poster board to do a science presentation that he was supposed to take a few days to do in class, except he had to do it all last night, because he just plays games all class and *didn’t even know they had the assignment*.
