My first grader has a pretty nice Dell 2-in-1 from school (with 8GB of RAM!!!). She had a school-provided iPad in kindergarten. I don’t think either of these things did her any good educationally (except making sure every kid has a device to do remote learning, which thankfully they haven’t had to do yet).

I really think schools should follow the model I had when growing up in the 80s and 90s: use non-internet connected devices once or twice per week in a computer lab until high school.
