[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a teacher at YHS and I don’t think there’s any way to leave it at home. My kids write essays in class or do collaborative work on Google Slides or make and edit videos. I know other teachers give tests online and I’m pretty sure math teachers use online programs daily[/quote]

This is ridiculously depressing.

We should not be having kids make freaking PowerPoint slides, that is like the worst thing imaginable about corporate America, why in the world is in our education system

Editing videos? That should only be in like one multimedia class, are they doing videos and like history and nonsense like that?

And math should be pencil and paper, even our AOPS course which is online says to do the work on paper first and then take a picture to submit it to the teacher.

Is this because the classes are too big, the teachers are resorting to tools to automate a lot of the classwork? What caused this?[/quote]

I disagree. My APS grads have been prepared for college where they use Canvas for assignments and all tests are on the laptop. They use excel and power point. It's how the world is now, so high school should prepare them. I am grateful APS does. [/quote]
