Would you pay to send your child to a private school that emphasized a tech free environment?
(And yes, such institutions are a thing now and there are parents presently paying tuition for this.)

My preschooler has learned to sound out and read some words from playing with his tablet. He has become familiar with math and can do basic addition and subtraction. This is without spending time in school and having time with technology.
Would I pay to take away those advantages? Not in this lifetime.

I'd consider it. There is way too much emphasis on tech. I would like to see kids learn the humanities, history, art, rhetoric, literature, and how to think, not just how to code. I think both are important but with how addicted kids are to tech and social media, it might be a good idea to get away from it all at school.

@strangerthanfiction Exactly, most work places don't allow it and you have to keep it off or keep it in your pocket etc. I think this should be taught to kids at school. Schools where i live have a lot of issues with them using them during class.
I'd love to see balance infused. While I love the idea of going back to an old-fashioned method of educating and implementing more real life scenarios conducive to strengthening social skills, I feel tech certainly still has a place. It's just a matter of emphasizing moderation in all aspects of life, but especially when it comes to using iPads and/or gaming. @ImKelsey

Absolutely not.
My future children will be as educated about tech and all other subjects they will need to succeed in society as they are willing to absorb, by formal schooling, or myself.

In the younger years to develop social skills but not when you get older as it's a vital skill to have. Unless you plan for your children to be investers in business
