Episode Details

Virginia Beach schools are rolling back tech in early classrooms, ditching Chromebooks for pre-K and kindergarten, limiting first graders to classroom use only, and banning second graders from taking devices home—except in emergencies. The School Board’s 7-4 vote reflects growing concerns over screen time, with carve-outs for English learners and a yearly audit to track usage. While some educators feared disruption to standards-aligned lessons, the compromise keeps essential tools accessible while reducing exposure. Future reviews will target older grades, and unused devices will be redistributed—marking a cautious step toward balancing tech and early childhood development.
