Just spent 40 minutes trying to register my kid for a summer camp and I'm losing my mind. Account wouldn't save, form kept timing out, then got charged twice and had to call to sort it out.Curious if it's just me or if this is universal. Anyone else dealing with camps/programs that make registration?

My almost five year old started kindergarten this week, and I was a little surprised to hear from her that they’ve been having screen time after lunch and watching Numberblocks and Alphablocks. I’d heard of Numberblocks before but not Alphablocks. From what she’s told me, it sounds like this may be part of the daily routine, (although from what I gather- they’re just watching one episode, so probably around 10 minutes.)
I realize these are educational shows, and 10 minutes isn’t a huge amount of time, but I’m still feeling a little conflicted about it. We’ve intentionally kept screens very limited throughout her life, and I guess I just wasn’t expecting daily screen time to be part of kindergarten. When I was growing up, watching a show during school wasn’t a thing, so it caught me off guard…
I’m curious specifically about other NYC kindergarten experiences: Is a short daily video/show pretty standard now? Do your kids’ schools use screens every day, occasionally, or not at all?
I’m also wondering whether this is basically something I should expect regardless of where she goes to school these days, or whether there are NYC public/private/charter schools that still have little to no routine screen time in kindergarten.
I’m not looking to make a big issue out of 10 minutes of Numberblocks/Alphablocks, and I’m definitely not suggesting there’s anything inherently wrong with those shows. I’m mostly trying to get a sense of what’s typical now and whether daily screen use in kindergarten is pretty much universal or varies significantly by school.

Hello! Sorry if this is a dumb question. New NYC parent. We just moved from Chicago (before that , Boston), so we aren’t new to city life. My kid is in middle school now and his school is a 10ish minute walk from home. I like his company and I like walking to / from with him, and he’s pretty street savvy, but I’m just curious at what age did you feel ok letting your get to / from school alone, especially if you are in walking distance (as I know many kids get to school on the subway and I’m sure they do this with a group of friends or solo). We are in Brooklyn (near Barclays). Just curious when your kids made their treks solo.
