While you weren\u2019t looking, your kid\u2019s most-wanted school supply went from a cartoon character backpack and colorful pencil case to a $1200 phone that, let\u2019s face it, they&#8217;re more interested in for their social life than for social studies.

Writing and turning in assignments, researching projects, putting together presentations, and even talking to teachers is done digitally through email and school communication apps. Today, learning to use this tech is as much part of education as math and history, but while 94% of US schools claim to provide essential tech to students in need, these underpowered Chromebooks just aren\u2019t preparing kids for the real world. In ecoATM&#8217;s survey of 1,000 parents of school-aged children conducted with Pollfish<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, 65% said they considered buying new tech for their children once a year, with 56% expressing the need for modern devices to ensure their child has technology literacy.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-12578 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gazelle.com\/thehorn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Gazelle-BTS-Infographic-v3-360x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gazelle.com\/thehorn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Gazelle-BTS-Infographic-v3-360x1024.png 360w, https:\/\/www.gazelle.com\/thehorn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Gazelle-BTS-Infographic-v3-105x300.png 105w, https:\/\/www.gazelle.com\/thehorn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Gazelle-BTS-Infographic-v3-53x150.png 53w, https:\/\/www.gazelle.com\/thehorn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Gazelle-BTS-Infographic-v3-540x1536.png 540w, https:\/\/www.gazelle.com\/thehorn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Gazelle-BTS-Infographic-v3-720x2048.png 720w, https:\/\/www.gazelle.com\/thehorn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Gazelle-BTS-Infographic-v3-512x1456.png 512w, https:\/\/www.gazelle.com\/thehorn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Gazelle-BTS-Infographic-v3.png 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Yet even as parents come around to the idea of purchasing a smartphone or other piece of tech for their children, one factor is shouting alarm bells from the rooftops\u2014<\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">the price<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. It\u2019s not just the mounting costs of extracurriculars, the looming spectre of high-priced college, the fact that teenagers could rival a professional basketball team with the amount of food they eat, or the fact that life in general is just more expensive these days.
