The return to more traditional ways of learning is a response to politicians and experts questioning whether Sweden’s hyper-digitalised approach to education, including the introduction of tablets in nursery schools, had led to a decline in basic skills.[/quote][/quote]

I'm so glad to hear this. My 4th grade/APS daughter brought home study sheets for VA history.  These were very brief sections, mostly 1 sentence bullet points. Missing the paragraphs of explanation that a textbook would've had. I've no clue what they're supposed to be learning. Memorize bullet points and by process of elimination match memory to multiple choice answers? [/quote]

If I was in Virginia or in any Southern state I’d worry more about what they are teaching not how they are teaching.  The governor, Glenn Youngkin, established a hotline to allow parents or members of the community to report critical race theory in the classroom.   Banned books and censorship are becoming more common.  They whitewash slavery in America and what happened during the civil rights protests.  It’s incredible that this is happening.  [/quote]
