That seems a bit one-sided. It is not all or nothing.<p>My son (age 5) gets to use a tablet from time to time, mostly to watch &quot;Sendung mit der Maus&quot; which is a famous German educational show. They cover various topics in 10 minute blocks. My son has already learned a lot from that.<p>I recently visited an elementary school and all the kids were having lessons about squirrels (it was in autumn). I guess &quot;under the hood&quot; they were learning more than just squirrel stuff, like reading comprehension, writing, structuring information and so on. But other than that, I am pretty sure what takes them days to learn about squirrels in school would be easier taught by Sendung mit der Maus.
