[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a teacher at YHS and I don’t think there’s any way to leave it at home. My kids write essays in class or do collaborative work on Google Slides or make and edit videos. I know other teachers give tests online and I’m pretty sure math teachers use online programs daily[/quote]

This is ridiculously depressing.

We should not be having kids make freaking PowerPoint slides, that is like the worst thing imaginable about corporate America, why in the world is in our education system

Editing videos? That should only be in like one multimedia class, are they doing videos and like history and nonsense like that?

And math should be pencil and paper, even our AOPS course which is online says to do the work on paper first and then take a picture to submit it to the teacher.

Is this because the classes are too big, the teachers are resorting to tools to automate a lot of the classwork? What caused this?[/quote]

If this is what you manage to get (you won't) your kid will be tech illiterate and won't know how to manage college or the workforce. [/quote]

I’m in tech. My kids will be fine. I just know it’s place and where it adds value. [/quote]

Do you mean “its place”? Maybe you spend too much time in front of a screen.

I use Siri dictation. I must’ve paused too long and it got confused.[/quote]

I will confess I probably have never typed an apostrophe DCUM. I EXPECT MY AUTOCORRECT TO DO ALL THAT WORK, I MEAN, I’M TYPING ON A PHONE HALF THE TIME OR DICTATING.

And I don’t know why I went all caps, but I don’t feel like retyping it, technology![/quote]

You say that you’re “in tech”?
