[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question: what are you going to do when your kid goes to college? All colleges use technology. All of them. You want to train your kid to use tech safely and correctly now rather than hope all works out later.[/quote] This OP [/quote] This is a ridiculous rationalization for the previous PPs’ own educational neglect. Handwriting and reading from books are shown in research to yield superior results in comprehension and memory. There is no child in today’s world who will “be behind” in college because their K-12 education emphasizes traditional resources. But there are lots of kids who cannot spell or write in a sophisticated way, cannot read historical documents and have little interest in reading anything longer than a couple of paragraphs - not to mention concentration problems, all due to an over reliance on tech in education.[/quote]
