[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Math tests should NOT be given on an app. No wonder American kids are so bad at math. My kids are older but went through APS schools and got a great education, especially in math. They ended up going to TJ and are now in STEM careers.

But I could see them having huge problems with taking a test this way. Only people who are not intrinsically good at math would think this is a good idea. Or they're just lazy. How do they see the work kids do to get the answer? Often the work will be right but the kid will make an arithmetic error at some point which yields the wrong answer.

Does every school district do this now? [/quote]

The kids have paper to do the work on. Only the answers are entered in the app. Then as far as I know the paper work is then turned it. Its kind of like using a scan tron but click an answer online vs filling in a bubble. [/quote]
Curious how this works. Is the paper just blank scratch paper or an actual printed test with questions? Does the paper get marked up and returned to students to review their errors? [/quote]
