> Preschools are required by law to use tablets in the "education" of toddlers

What the actual fuck.

Yes, my childrens preschool was awesome but at the same time I did wonder why the need for tablets at such a young age. One reason stated was that it was a matter of equality, parents who could not afford tech means their children are at a disadvantage later on when they dont know how to use... touchscreens I guess? :)

Classic socialism approach. Make everyone equally worse off. Frankly I'd rather move country than give my 2yo a tablet. And if I'd learn I have to by law well that'd just reinforce my conviction.

Any idea if this ludicrous situation is the same in Norway, Finland, Denmark?
