What....why the heck would you give 8 year olds iPads....my littlest brother was born in 2002 I think and when he turned 8 his school didn&#x27;t do this nonsense.<p>They should be reading from regular books and get regular chalkboard&#x2F;whiteboard Lectures and doing hands on activities.<p>Instead of giving them iPads you could have a small set of time in the week to go onto a desktop computer and learn how to keyboard and do those kid like programming exercises and maybe some fun online learning tools.<p>Technology is only bad for kids if you don&#x27;t know how to ration it and talk to them about it and limit it to educational uses.<p>Just giving them iPads makes no sense. All you&#x27;re doing is helping Apple lol.....<p>You cannot even teach them practical academic tech stuff like keyboarding or programming using those kid friendly programming applications like Minecraft.<p>Or at least lock down the iPads so it only has educational apps.
