[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I would worry that the tech-free school would have no differentiation. I am aware that screen-free differentiation is possible, but it is harder without more resources (specifically, additional teachers/coaches/support staff), almost never happens and screens definitely make it much easier. As a result, I think a tech-free school would end up losing high achieving kids once their parents realized what was happening (1st/2nd).[/quote]

And that would be a poor choice. I’d rather have my kid “undifferentiated” than stuck in front of a computer. Plus there are ways to differentiate without computers. [/quote]

You say that now but you'll feel differently when it's happening, or when your middle schooler is plodding through Math 8 rather than Algebra I and Geometry. [/quote]

lol. I am saying that now because basically every kid in Algebra I is going to have to repeat it (even the good math kids) because the computer program is so terrible and there is not even a textbook or syllabus for parents to use on their own with the kid.[/quote]

Go to Khan Academy. It’s h better than a textbook [/quote]
