bawdy-nan Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Sorry, I don't mean to be cryptic - just trying to find a way to reach other parents, who will know about this if they're affected, to discuss this.

Saffron Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 How is that not cryptic? Posting on a public forum, asking only for private replies? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/65396-local-school-ipad-programme/#findComment-870741 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bawdy-nan Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 I've posted on a public forum because I am trying to make contact with other parents and there isn't really another way. Those parents concerned will know about this scheme. They'll also be aware that the home/school agreement requires that parents don't post on social media about the school and I don't want to be unnecessarily inflammatory.

simonethebeaver Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Speaking as someone who immediately knew what the post meant, I know why the OP puts it as she does. Sorry if it is frustrating for others but I'm glad she's done it.

traveller1 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 At the risk is staying the obvious, that is why so many parent information meetings have been scheduled. You will find fellow parents aplenty to ask their opinions at one of them.?

It was a (bemused) observation, not a criticism. ;-)Hitting the right level of dymanic feedback with schools is a tricky one simetimes. It shouldn't be. But it is. Sigh.Hope you got some useful PMs. xx Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/65396-local-school-ipad-programme/#findComment-872096 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bawdy-nan Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 Thanks Saffron - yes, I did, its been really helpful and illuminating to be meet and talk to other parents - apologies to others if this felt like an annoyingly intriguing thread!

Mrs TP Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I don't know the ins and outs of this scheme, i.e. the cost, as not connected with this school but I would be more than miffed at our secondary 'insisting' on ipads. We have a home comp and a family ipad and I really do not want to buy another ipad for each of my 3 children.I can well imagine the benefits etc but funny all the schools who banned mobiles for years citing amongst other probs potential mugging en route to school and home now think it is perfectly acceptable for the kids to be carrying ipads.It's a slippery, inevitable, expensive slope :( Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/65396-local-school-ipad-programme/#findComment-872251 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomskip Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I just think its a shame that we are seemingly unable to discuss secondary schools on the ED Forum (any secondary school it now appears) without being shut down or told to shut up.I sincerely doubt many parents in this neighbourhood have a purely hostile or aggressive starting point. They just want opinions and honest discussion.

Saffron Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 But that might lead to free thinking! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/65396-local-school-ipad-programme/#findComment-872302 Share on other sites More sharing options...
