Maybe you just want them to do the math problems.
So it just depends.
Yes, and in many districts that also means it comes home, which also can present a whole new set of parenting challenges for families where
Even if you have a device at home, maybe you have a culture around it where kids have to ask permission to use it.
When the school device comes home, some parents feel like, Oh, it's a school device, so the school should make the rules.
But in fact, parents still need to step up and mentor their kids around that.
Many parents may need to take that device away at night.
Just because the school sent home an iPad doesn't mean your kid needs twenty-four seven access to it.
I think that they can but I do think they need a lot of mentorship from adults.
And this is where it gets tricky.
So if your child, for example, has a strong interest, say they're really into Harry Potter and they join some online Harry Potter communities, and this may be a really good social outlet for them.
I would also encourage them to see if there are any kid appropriate face to face meetups that come with
that community and and that's I would never send my kid to a face to face meetup from someone they met on the internet without me, right?

We need to teach kids that yes, it's okay to connect with people with shared interests online and that can be a good thing, but we also have to have a level of skepticism and an important sense of like how much power does that person have in your life?
Like if my child was getting into a romantic relationship with someone they met online, even if it was like maybe they did fall in love on a Harry Potter site, and there are people near it today who fell in love in situations like this and
You know, many of us have partners that we met actually on the internet, so I don't want to demonize that.
But I would be very cautious about someone getting really close to my kid, especially if my kid was very isolated in their day to day life at school, maybe if they didn't have a lot of friends in their own local community.
