I Am A Parent Of Two Students

Decent Essays

I am a parent of two students that attend your school district, one is at the middle school and the other is at the high school. I am writing with some concerns I have regarding the amount of time both my children are being exposed to the internet not only while they are at school, but also when they get home and need to use the internet to complete homework.
As a parent, having my children making only connections with an electronic device and having next to none social interactions is concerning to me because the way I am raising my children is totally different and I am now at a lost trying to implement my parenting against their education, it contradicts the values that I am teaching my children at home.
One thing that concerns me the most about my children being lost in a cyber world is that I feel as though I have no saying in controlling how much time my children are spending in front of a screen. In our home we do not even have cable service, and watching television is like a treat for us during the weekend. We had internet access but the computer was only used under our supervision and with a time limit. Now all those things that we worked so hard as a family to achieve are lost because the school requires them to have a laptop/ ipad with them at all times during the school day, and with the extensive amount of homework given to them, it is inevitable for them not to be on their electronic devices provided to them by the school while they are at home as well.
