[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APE really dislikes Apple products for some reason. The Macbooks are better built, last longer and are easier to maintain. The Wall Street Journal had an article this past year on the cheap Chromebooks that become useless bricks because of the inability to upgrade the software and proprietary OS. Also those cheap plastic computers break more often. I will not vote for any candidate that supports this ludicrous APE position that is not based on any sound research. [b]Also, Macbooks, ipads, and learning cursive penmanship, reading physical books, drawing/painting, or whatever are not mutually exclusive[/b]. [/quote] Except APS makes them such by relying on the technology for everything not actually doing much, if any, of that other stuff (ie penmanship and reading physical books). [/quote] What APS are you all in? My kids both read a lot of physical books, work on penmanship, etc. Also, for what it's worth, the math app Reflex on the ipads genuinely helps for memorizing math facts, which used to be a pretty painful process when it was just flashcards and multiplication tables.[/quote] I have no issue with things like math facts practice on computers. Our school did not spend time teaching penmanship - it was self-taught and then its use was never enforced, and then not needed because everything ultimately gets done on the iPad by middle school. I would say we're all in the APS you haven't gotten to yet or apparently just not in the special part of APS you're privileged to be in.[/quote]
