cannedtuna comments on Schools across America are quietly admitting that screens in classrooms made students worse off and are reversing years of tech-first policies

This has been a major problem for my kid. They don’t even lock down the iPads they issue so they just do whatever. So when my kid is failing classes because he’s not doing assignments in class and it turns out he’s just on YouTube all day, it’s like why the fuck are they even able to get on that in the first place? Doesn’t matter how tightly I restrict technology at home when his school just says fuck it.

That's insane! How could any teachers think that's acceptable?

I'd guess a mix of don't care and don't know

Well the teachers can’t lock it down. Most they give the teachers is a way to peak on the kids screens via some app, but the kids have figured out all you gotta do is turn off Bluetooth to get around it.

The school on the other hand, I’ve bitched to them and their IT about it. Like Apple HAS good lockdown policies, and it’s not like they can’t just install Jampf or something of the like to really control it.

Yes, that wasn't a punch on the teachers, but the school and maybe Apple. They could simply sell pre-configured devices and it wouldn't make much of a difference in their pipeline.
