Covid/virtual learning exacerbated this too. All the teachers continued using their slide decks for units the following year (2021-2022 year) once the kids came back in person full time.

No not “all” the teachers

It might be more if FCPS actually gave teachers paper material versus online.

PreK-2 are all getting iPads. Ya really think it's going to be screen free?

Of course not and tech companies like Apple will give schools the devices. The younger you hook the customer the greater brand loyalty will be down the road.

Just don’t hire the former Bud Lite marketing team to kill that brand loyalty.

Not true.

Many, many many did. My 5th grader looked at hundreds of pages of website PER DAY usually that year, and never brought home paper work. He barely learned anything that entire year, which was unfortunate b/c 4th grade was obviously a lost year as well.

Can resume homework since the AI bot can work 24/7. Will have entire class on camera to maintain discipline, will literally have eyes in the back of their head.

Can build them cheaply so will be able to stratify kids by ability, and kids can go as fast and as far in math and science as they want.

Uh no. Silicon Valley already knows to keep their kids off tech. The rest of us are learning that, often the hard way. Hence these new guidelines.

They watch videos for every subject. Teachers have forgotten how to teach.

+1 my child’s teacher (the first year kids were back in person full time) had all worksheets posted online - refused to hand out hard copies. It was ridiculous.

No you missed the point, it will be traditional teaching with blackboards and everything. But lower cost per student. Lest spent on teacher salaries, fringe benefits or union dues.

Robot will clap the erasers clean and spend the night grading homework. Kids will learn to read, write, spell and do math. No bias for history or gender. Will not share pronouns or ask to be addressed as Mx.

Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of great teachers and they will work to improve the AI for the next 20 years. The rest, will have to find other things to do.

LOL, no

I recall when my kids were learning addition and subtraction with carrying and borrowing and they had them do it on Google slides and it took sooo much longer to do it this way. There were several other instances of Google math slides that just took so much longer than it would had it been on regular paper. Also is it just at our school or is 3rd grade very Google slides and videos heavy with very little teaching?

Nope, this is our school. Sooo much laptop use since Covid. I honestly feel like the teachers scanned everything in they used to have on paper or bought TPT google slides (or those terrible Gatehouse Covid slides) and it was just easier to keep using them.

Kids needs to solve math problems on paper with a pencil to learn.

You can practice with them at home with paper and pencil.

And what about the families that expect the schools to teach? Just let those kids not learn?

Find a better solution. Such as reducing screen time in the classroom.

But that solution isn’t realistic with where public education is moving towards in the future - so find the best one that also aligns with that.

Dp. So you think public education is moving toward being just childcare and parents are expected to educate their children at home? Or send your kid to private where they actually teach math?
