At what point is it the norm to use a laptop in class for school works and notetaking? My 2nd grader doesn't have the easiest time with handwriting writing (though an OT evaluation put him in the "just average" category).

Private, right? Puts me in mind of about a decade or so ago, when a private UES school distributed tablets and the kids became mugging targets. [ Reply | More

I could see using it to turn in more legible homework, but be careful on the notetaking. There have been studies on college students that people retain more info when taking notes on paper vs a computer. I [ Reply | More
