Great piece and I enjoyed hearing about your journey. The iPads in classrooms is not something I am a fan of either, and it is telling that the schools that Apple and Google executives send their children to don't have a lot of technology in the classroom.
I write a bit about homeschooling (among other randomness) and hope you'll check me out! I really hope to encourage and grow community here on Steemit talking about these issues. I'll be adding you to my homeschoolers to follow roll call. @beriberi
Thanks @beriberi, I will definitely check it out! I think it's so telling when the tech executives themselves take steps to limit technology for their own kids!
