[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are looking at the Smartboard screen a great deal, because teachers are still teaching with slides, as there aren’t textbooks. Slides give a snapshot of instruction, and then, for example, a few math problems, and that’s the lesson for the day. Reading books and writing by hand on paper allows kids to engage much more fully with the content.[/quote]

How is a smartboard worse than the blackboards of old??? They are far better in my opinion. 
Kids do plenty of reading physical books and writing by hand in our school. [/quote]I disagree.  There has been little to no reading a physical book, other than 20min at home enforced by a parent.  There are no textbooks at school, so there is no material on social studies or science to read.  The students only write during a writing prompt time.  The Google slide decks from Covid are being used and kids might write in one word answers on a worksheet.  There is no dictation.  There is no taking notes at all.  The notes are given to the students in a packet of worksheets stapled together.  There is no textbook to consult with when the student misses some blanks.  So, all in all, very little handwriting occurs each day and much less reading.  [/quote]

What pyramid are you in? This has not been our experience in Marshall pyramid. Tech is used but I see lots of work coming home that is handwritten. [/quote]
