[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools can do almost all assignments on paper. Some kids forget chromebooks or haven't charged them. Teachers are used to working around them.[/quote]

Untrue at least at DD's school. The teachers refuse to print assignments or modify them for paper. It's a mess and I'm sorry you are going through this OP. MCPS has been a disaster for DD since they started giving out Chromebooks.[/quote]

My school has two copy machines. At least one is broken 80% of the time and 50% of the time both are broken. We teach 900 kids. Printing 6-7 classes worth of assignments for each child is not an option.[/quote]

When I was in school they’d post one copy of an assignment on the overhead and we’d all write our answers on a piece of loose leaf. Or in HS the teachers even just read the questions to us. [/quote]

Same when I went to school, but classes were not mainstreamed then. So if there was a student with dyslexia, dysgraphia, or ADHD in the class, they were pretty screwed by those approaches. I have really bright, hardworking students whose handwriting is so illegible that they would not be able to read back what they wrote, let alone expect a teacher to decipher it for grading. And I have students with high IQs who have slow processing speed. Forcing them to answer a number of verbal questions in the same amount of time as non-disabled peers would be unfair.[/quote]
