This is hard topic to find best solution. Some say it should since they can learn things and they are already on parents smartphones and computers. This way they could learn something useful. Smme say No because kids are already to much in front of computers screens and if they are in school, it would be to much for their eyes. Some scientis say using to much smartphone, kids lost hand and arm motility. Would you allow kid to go in computer science class in first grade?

Yes! It's more important than playing games at home if used for instructional and educational purposes.

@mrki444 Parents are responsible for limiting screen time at home. Many skills can be developed online at an early age. My grandkids were reading at 2 and 3 years old.

@mrki444 there are ways to prevent their eyesight from becoming. And they don't have to spend the whole day on it. Just enough to learn per day.

As you say, it's a hard one to answer but if it's the school policy, parents don't have much choice.
