Inside A Tech-Free School Where Tech Executives Send Their Kids

1. Exploring leaves and doing hand craft before math is 36k a year ? How about math and then otter activities after school

2. So in other worlds just a normal school !😅

3. It doesn't matter that they don't use laptops or PCs. They will find out they will have to use the SCREEN to use the toilet here soon.

4. I mean okay I get the handbook states beleefis well but idek if they actually use it.

5. Coucou BEST VIDÉO EVER !!! FROM FRANCE 🥰🥰😊🥳😄😁🥰🥰🥰💙💕💕💜❤️❤️

9. Amazing that education years ago was human to human relations & children were well balanced free from disease. I agree use technology as a research tool. Balance in all things.

10. If schools in the 1960s had been obssessed with "tech", we would have spent our days watching television. Afternoon soaps, anyone?

11. I used to teach at a Reggio Emilia preschool which is a play-based approach where technology is limited in class. In my school, the teachers had a computer to email and make yearbooks for the kids, but the kids never saw a glowing screen during class time, instead they got to play, explore different centers, and make art.

    Waldorf schools are not the same as a traditional school that doesn't have the budget for computers, Waldorf kids are taught to think for themselves, be independent, and learn about the world through art, storytelling, and nature. Kids learn at their own pace and get individual attention from their teachers. In many Waldorf schools, students can have the same teacher for several years, so they build a close bond and the teachers really know their students and see their journey as they grow.

    My issue with Waldorf is that teachers still tell kids what to do and make them all do the same activity instead of letting them choose what they want to learn, which is what the Reggio approach is. It's still better than a traditional school and it's better for kids to explore nature and make art using real material instead of clicking on a screen all day.

    Kids don't need to learn how to use technology, it's actually bad for young kids to use phones and iPads since it affects their attention span, mood, sleep, and ability to entertain themselves with their own imagination. Tech is purposely made to be user-friendly and easy to use, so just like I was able to use a smartphone and other tech as an adult since that stuff didn't exist when I was a kid or teenager, kids who grow up tech-free will easily be able to use technology when they get older. They're not missing anything from not having tech as kids and are gaining a lot by growing up without it.

12. … so basically like school 30 years ago?

13. This technology is made possible by countless hours of human effort so respect it in that way. Otherwise, it won't be too late for these kids to fall behind from other people. Nowadays I use chatgpt to do 90% of a teacher job even more than that, what could I have asked better from the God other than a super-intelligent teacher.

14. I am the opposite of that kid, but that kid describe because I talk to people about what I wanna try and YouTube and video games if you take that away from me I will have nothing to talk about

15. You should have to prove that your kids Have these issues to begin with and not just automatically send them there because you’re worried that they will

16. You can always show other people what you researched and what if you’re physically disabled when can I have fun?

17. The kids of big tech bosses ask their parents: Why can't I use the technologies your company developed?

18. I really wish all schools did this; my kids are in public school and since the return after covid, more and more tech is being implemented and yet it hasn't helped at all. Many students are still behind, repeated a grade or not yet on grade level. The solution to educational gaps with poor people are i-ready and zearn, according to public schools. All children deserve a Waldorf or Montessori style education

19. It seems nice but it sucks

20. Your best bet for learning and life is to ditch the tech. I wont use it or let anyone else in my family. And i have a college degree from the nsa

21. Kids learn best without digital devices since it trains their imagination.

22. I am a kindergarten teacher, and I cringe when I see a child with an Iphone, and cannot write their name, tell you their birthday, don't know very basic skills. Listening and retention skills are bad. Read the book Glow Kids, and you might reconsider how much tech and when you allow your child to have access to it. I am not anti tech, I am concerned how tech is changing students because their parents and school are not mindful of what this is doing to them. Yes it looks good when speaking about it, however, many children are struggling with very basic skills including reading, writing, listening, and thinking.

23. So you can pay thousands to have your kids be luddites? MORONS! They will NEED computers to do their jobs; why would cripple them?

24. If my high school had resources to do hands on activities (our definition of a science “lab” is drawing on the table) I think I’d be fine without technology.

25. Why would you set kids back by 20 or 30 years? This is a bs plot for a documentary. It advertises that all tech executives send their kids to tech-free schools and that’s just absolutely not true. Just because you found a school where there is more than one tech executive’s kid enrolled doesn’t mean that this is what all tech executives do. You’re playing on the ignorance of the population because you know half the people that watch this are going to believe it’s 100% true of all tech executives since you’ve put this in a documentary format and got some footage of some things. It’s ridiculous. I really hope you people aren’t really that naive. There is absolutely nothing wrong with getting your children familiar with technology. They actually need exposure. Sure, it should be limited so that they can develop a normal social life, but you’re going to feel bad when your child can’t compete for jobs with their peers when they come out of high school and college as some people’s children will be years ahead of yours. Tech is our future and you need to be less afraid of it or you’re going to be the cause of your child being held back and having a later start on the jobs of the future. There are 10 year olds developing apps and becoming millionaires now for crying out loud. So what’s the big deal with taking children

26. no no no eh stop

27. They do this because as the famous saying goes “get the good in when it’s still good!” Or a better, more fitting version would be “enjoy the good stress-free years of your life while you can because your gonna have one hell of an adult life, literally!”

28. Now that we learn that tech could be more bad than good for our kids.they are now going to make sure the privilege is not as affected in instead of all schools.they always want a head start

29. Waldorf is a cult.

30. Yeah that's how it is in INDIA 🇮🇳
    That's how India produces so many CEOs

31. I think its a school for special needs people

32. Mfs roleplaying my early childhood, unfortunately in highschool I got a Chromebook. Now my kindergarten sister has a school issued Chromebook.

33. wow its like George W Bush sending americans to die in the middle east while his kids get to stay home

34. COVID: awww how adorable
