@Ducky truth

@therighttothink50 my children do play outside plenty, but they do have tablets that they play games on

Tablets out, imagination in: the schools that shun technology

Parents working in Silicon Valley are sending their children to a school where there’s not a computer in sight – and they’re not alone

@therighttothink50 I think balance is key… I would never let my kids just hang on the tablet all day. We play outside and they have plenty of toys and things they can pretend with or create and imagine

@MethDozer I told her I spent most my time outside

@WaryWitchWandering yeah, I told my nephew it was like the movies he likes a lot. Like The Sandlot, stand by me, and Goonies and such where the kids could kinda just be out and nobody thought anything of it.

@MethDozer Remember this? You can show your nephew in case he needs proof.
