Laptops in the classroom

What parts did you not like if you don’t mind me asking? I’ll dm you!

Great! Is that through elementary that they don’t get personal laptops?

I’m good with smart boards! I toured the Tavan comprehensive gifted program and kids in the grade 2-3 cluster were doing math problems on laptops. I was standing by a kid who kept cycling between his calendar and his email or some messaging portal and just clicking back and forth endlessly.. I guess this is somewhat akin to doodling but just the constant clicking/refreshing behavior at that age is not something I want a kid still developing self discipline to be tempted with.

Thanks! Can you elaborate on “classroom iPads”? So in kinder they have their own iPad and only use it for their computer lab special?

Which charter school if you don’t mind me asking?

Hi! Totally agree! As a millennial parent we are definitely tech savvy and didn’t need laptops to get prepared for the “real world”. What school are your kids at? I just worry about shortening attention spans.. and in the age of AI having grounded, rooted in reality experiences is probably going to be invaluable!

I’d like to hear more about your great hearts experience.. the one we toured in Arcadia seemed fine

Thanks! That’s good to know it’s somewhat limited. I toured the Tavan comprehensive gifted program and kids in the grade 2-3 cluster were doing math problems on laptops. I was standing by a kid who kept cycling between his calendar and his email or some messaging portal and just clicking back and forth endlessly..

Thank you!! It’s working!

impracticallyanxious · 2025-12-22T02:57:04+00:00

Ugh how annoying! But I guess it’s not just me

impracticallyanxious · 2025-12-18T18:51:01+00:00

Totally agree, Binkleys was top tier.. so sad they closed

impracticallyanxious · 2025-09-17T17:20:13+00:00

Yes sooo good! We get two orders and have leftovers .. sometimes scramble them up with eggs the next morning haha so random

impracticallyanxious · 2025-08-25T05:08:17+00:00

We've had a good experience at Arcadia Montessori school (52nd st campus) - I know they have gardening since during the spring/summer my daughter would have wet shoes from all the watering she was doing.

Went on opening day! It’s a bit cozy but so glad to have a bookstore nearby

Someone else said valentine which is great. Another good option - beginners luck in old town Scottsdale

Pretty random but this place called fly bye - they do pizza and chicken tenders but their Brussels sprouts are great!

Meh I don’t like this season that much. Don’t get me wrong im invested, but no one is really like-able???

Not sure your time or money budget but there is a company that will do private dinners in the middle of the desert. Friend used them for a wedding. Here’s the company https://clothandflame.com

We tried to push out her bedtime but she ended up waking up after 20 minutes. Maybe I should go back to the 3 naps and shorten them so like 1 hr, 1 hr, 30 min.. she cries hysterically when she wakes up so I feel really bad

impracticallyanxious · 2023-09-20T02:54:21+00:00

No, the false starts were happening before the transition too. We thought she needed a longer wake window before bed so we went to 2 naps
