Parents torn over screens as homework moves online

Original: 'Get off your screen, but also do your homework on this tablet', says confused parent

Parents are voicing frustration over a familiar contradiction: children are told to get off their screens, yet schools increasingly require tablets and laptops for homework. The mixed message leaves families struggling to set limits on device use while still meeting school expectations. Many say they want clearer guidance from schools on separating educational screen time from leisure use.

Why now: Remote and app-based homework keeps blurring the line between schoolwork and screen time, a tension many families feel daily.
