[quote=Anonymous]Each school has a teacher who oversees the technology use in class. That person can recommend programs for you. It will have to be done at home. I would absolutely email the principal and say that it doesn’t make sense that your child is expected to type with no instruction in that. Tell the teacher that they can’t and ask for handwritten assignments. Push back on this. Bring it up with the PTA. I’ll tell for sure, as a veteran teacher, principals HATE when parents complain, and they really hate it when parents call their school board member to inquire about policies like this. If it’s a bogus wining complaint, they don’t care, but believe me, they care if it is something legitimate like this. And science shows that learning is enhanced by handwriting, not keyboards.[/quote]
