[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue is that tech is baked in the cake. Your kids need to know how to type and work with computers to solve problems and read etc. all testing is on the computer. [/quote] The kids need to learn how to write and do math on paper. Those are vital life skills. The act of physically putting pen to paper and writing is vital tl learning and needs to be taught when it is developmentally appropriate. The kids cannot even sign a cjrsive signature coming out of FCPS elementary and middle schools. The reliance on "educational" gaming apps to babysit kids in elementary school and the complete abdication of effective, traditional learning methods in our district is going to have life long negative implications for these students.[/quote]
