    I’m desperately trying to find a school that eschews all technology until at least year 7 for my son. The kids raised on ipads are completely cooked and I don’t want that.

      All technology ? I’d say having dedicated computer classes could be useful ; although I’m not familiar with how old “year 7” is (unless you litterally mean 7 years old ?)

        All. Studies consistently show students perform worse when they’ve been made reliant on technology.

        The age would be 12-13 for year 7.

          I think “reliant” is the key word though.

          In Collège (11-14 years old) we had a “Technologie” class where we learnt how to do various things on computers, from presentations to basic 3D modelling ; all using free software.

          I genuinely think that class was helpful, and we had no computers during any other class.

          I am surprised how many people have responded to me with american grades, which I understand exactly as little 😅 thank you for trying though ! That’s why I asked for the age (which they told me)
