[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is that if a kid needs a chrome book they probably don’t have internet access at home either.  I am not even sure that chrome books work perfectly outside of a school.  They are pretty locked down.[/quote]

Comcast is providing two months of free internet. It would be a challenge but it would have been easier if they distributed the chrome books and information while the kids were at school.  My kid is in first grade and above level so I don’t really care. But for a lot of kids, it will be tough to recover from this, and the ones who will find it toughest are the least able to solve the access problem themselves. [/quote]
My DC told me that even before this happened, schools would allow kids to take chromebooks home for a few days, and that it comes with a hotspot readily available on it.

IMO, I think it's important to bring some structure and normalcy as much as possible to kids' lives, plus they will be a whole quarter and a bit behind going into next year. That's a lot of material. Not a big deal for ES students maybe MS students, but that's a lot for HSers, especially those who plan on taking AP/IB exams.[/quote]
