Which elementary schools use lesser technology and more play based approaches?

I understand chromebooks and smart screens are used more in the last decade or so - but among the elementary schools atleast are there any schools you know of that use less screen times at school, lesser tablet usage than others?

You could share your own experiences as well (for your children in school currently or in last 5-6 years).

I would love a school that uses less online work and more pencil paper work and crafts play etc. Any guidance is appreciated.

Commute to Metra - Options?

As we move to the suburbs soon, first thing I'm doing is renewing my license.

But wondering if there're other options to get to the nearest metra? is Naperville station better than Route 59 or vice versa?

Are there any car pool options? I'd love that more than driving 6-7 miles everyday.

How's the Uber/Pace?

Any tips on this front are really appreciated!!

Naperville Schools vs Lisle/Aurora/Warrenville?

I've been reading everywhere that Naperville School districts 203 and 204 are simply great. Thats one of the big reasons a lot of families move there I'm sure! But how would you rate those against schools in Lisle, Aurora, or other surrounding areas? Are they comparable or really far down the list in terms of quality of education and school life overall for the child?

Thanks!
