The question is do the allow them to use their laptops to access llms. Like I assume before ai they where not allowing the kids to fry their brains doom scrolling but would allow programming. They weren't blocking all tech as they aren't raising subsistence farmers.

Young kids don’t need to learn programming. They need to learn math, reading, spatial reasoning and social skills. (Among other things.)

The kids who were being taught Java in elementary school ten years ago aren’t particularly better off for it.

I figure they let them use Wikipedia, google etc. before though so I am curious where the line exists now.
