  With significant posture issues, eye strain issues, ergonomic issues and potential social isolation issues, should children in kindergarten really be using eDevices in the classroom? The educators say, "Yes ... we cannot serve all of our students as needed, so we rely on eDevices to provide the instruction we cannot." The children say, "Yes ... we love our iPads!" But educators and technologists (including myself) around the world are not so certain. Long-term health issues caused by incorrect bone structure development and poor posture for extended periods added to a lack of social skills can significantly harm a child's growth, physically, mentally and socially. Please consider adding new teachers who can actually teach their students, instead of spending $200,000 on eDevices that will be obsolete within a year while contributing to the poor health and stunted social skills of your students for the rest of their lives.
