[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, but kids aren't adults. If we applied the same logic, we wouldn't teach Kindergartner students how to print and just go straight to keyboarding.

At meetings I attend, plenty of people still take notes on paper which they may scan later. And I still print out some documents that I really need to read carefully.

There are health benefits to consider as well. Kids doing homework late at night on a computer isn't such a good thing. The light frequency on the screen inhibits melatonin production leading to disruption in sleep patterns.  Of course, this applies to nearly everybody who uses a computer.[/quote]

These kids are growing up in a tech world. They will be on their phones at night if not computer. The adults you are in meetings with did not grow up in a tech world. When our grandkids are in school, they probably won't be printing in K. I am a millennial and do not print out any documents (and I am an upper level finance professional). I am always taken aback with how much wasted paper is used printing unnecessary documents. You, as an adult, are not the barometer for what works with educating 12 year olds in today's society (I mean that in a nice, non-snarky way).[/quote]
