waldorf schools and technology

at this private school technology is not allowed. the administration don't even think that the kids should be doing anything with electronics even at their own homes. i think the kids need some technology just because school is very boring. not one single person likes sitting through a day of school but we all have to do it. you need that brake from being told what to do and be able to look something interesting up on the web or play a game. this doesn't mean sit on your computer or ipad all day and not pay attention to what the teachers are saying but you have to be able to make a stable barrier for when is to much playing. if i were the parents of these kids and i was paying up to 40,000 dollars just on k-12 then i wouldn't want the kids playing around with games and computers, i would want them to get the best education possible. so i see where they are coming from but it is still healthy to have some fun in school and not have it be all about work. also, they are talking mostly about elementary and middle school kids and when i was in those grades i didn't use much technology but it also wasn't really that big then. high school students need technology more because it is a getaway for all of this information you have to remember. so the idea of technology in school and for kids can go back and forth a lot. some schools recommend i and some think its the stupidest thing they could come up with.
