Schools across the U.S. are starting to rethink the abundance of digital devices in classrooms. After pouring billions of dollars into laptops, tablets and learning apps, a growing number of schools say it is time to scale back.
I bet people down voting me are the sales reps that sell/lease thousands of iPads and Chromebooks to districts along with software licenses and contracts to supple the personnel to support that hardware.
As someone with troubles writing, screw you, having a computer in class would have made my whole education an order of magnitude less shitty.
I’m downvoting you for your dumbass take, not for being an apple or google rep. (mostly the part about pens and papers, I agree on the part that big tech need to get bent too, and that no money should go in their pockets and probably should go somewhere else)
If your writting was part of a disablity, (and you didnt fall through the cracks) you’d get an 504 or IEP for accommadation.
If you were just bad at it, well join the club, my handwritting has always been terrible and I was forced to work at it until I improved it so it is at least legible. You learn skills at school. Writting to communicate, is one of those skills and it takes practice.
your writting will never get better if you dont practice it.
Well, I doubt the french ministry of education call them IEP or 504 (not everyone lives in the US, shocker), and anyway it simply doesn’t help if you are diagnosed loooong after the fact.
I’m sure spending close to two decades at school with nothing but pens and paper count as practice, right? Welp too bad it did nothing, my writing still sucked at uni.
