        Probably consistency for organization/grading. If kids are submitting assignments in a bunch of different ways, it’s harder for the teacher to keep track of everything. Also, some of the math assignments submitted through apps are auto-graded instead of hand graded, so submitting it separately as a screenshot requires a bunch of extra work for the teacher.

If your kid does better on paper, why don’t they do it on paper and then enter their answers into the program?

        Too bad. That's the teacher's job! There is no reason a student shouldn't be allowed to do the work on paper - it's better for learning math anyway - even if the student then has to re-enter everything digitally. If it's a timed test, that student should be allowed more time to complete it. The teacher's interest should be the student learning the material, not making grading easier.

Maybe the students' writing is sloppy. Maybe the pictures the students are sending are blurry and the teacher can't read them. There are lots of reasons why the teacher might do this. When you are a certified teacher, you can set the rules for your classroom. Until then, please help your child to follow directions.

Then the teacher should be clearly explaining why the student isn't permitted to do their work on paper. As a parent, my job is to support my child's learning and advocate for things they need in order to learn. If they need to write out their math work, then I'm going to ask about it and expect an appropriate response from the teacher. The teacher can set rules;[b] but the teacher can also accommodate student needs or explain why they can't[/b].[/quote]

Then ask them about the policy instead of whining about it here. [/quote]
