Sounds like you have a lot of trust issues

Has nothing to do with trust, it's more a decision my wife and I made of how we wish to educate/raise my daughter. I have no idea if we will follow through, but that is the current plan. Right now we don't want to be the parents that have to throw the toddler a tablet to be able to make her be quiet.

I'll read about it or ask my wife (she has a master's in elementary ed., so she may have some familiarity with the concept), but I'm guessing it's just another progressive/alternative take (i.e., opinion) on what kids should be learning and when and how. Everyone else is wrong and they're right and the best and blah blah blah. Since becoming a parent I have read so much shite about parenting and education, and nearly all of it boils down to an attempt to sell (keyword sell) a neatly, uniquely packaged idea, some of them more cult-like than others. Industries related to parenting and education can be highly predatory.

i don't plan to send my daughter to them, it's just a low tech hands on school that has gotten popular with Google/Apple/Silicon Valley workers. I am sure it has its negatives just like any method. I was just using it as an example of how low tech is still very much a current method.

You guys really think a kid goes sit in their room and turn into an iphone zombie? LOL..geez

I do, I have seen it in friends and my family's children. I am not saying your kid is that way or assuming you are a bad parent like some because I don't know your situation. However, this does happen and isn't that rare.
