The laptops should be a tool, in addition to other tools. Being well rounded is the best thing you can be.

Yeah, my 8-year-old has the chrome book, but also gets physical homework, paper and pencil. Dunno how it'll be as she gets older, but I like how it is so far.

I was thinking about trying to find Mavis Beacon and somehow getting it to function on Windows 11. No idea if there's compatible versions. But I used Mavis Beacon all the time growing up and enjoyed the games, made learning to type (properly) fun.

I studied things without technology. I take notes on pen and paper

It's weird that we don't consider the mass production of cheap paper and quality pens/pencils a technology.

analog classrooms work better than this chromebook hellhole

I'm not going to become an Evangelical for Ctrl+F because I don't think it's worth the fight.

But I will say an analog classroom with 8 students taught by a professional teacher five days a week is vastly superior to an analog classroom with 40 students taught by a TA three days a week.

Do with that what you will.
