Ok, I realize that we need to "prepare our children for the road ahead", but I feel like children are learning younger and younger how to relate to the TV, the computer, the radio, the CD player, the IPod, the...(insert electronic device) and NOT with other people. Especially in the younger grades, I feel that children need to learn how to socialize and relate to other...well...human beings. We can be teaching them how to be "academically bright" and yet they never learn how to relate to people, use manners, use common sense, and pay attention to the teacher who doesn't have any blinking lights and bright colors.
I feel that especially at the early childhood level, computers are not necessary. They will learn how to use them later on.
