[quote=Anonymous]The naturally talented students may  navigate the screen use okay - but what are the opportunity costs?  What are the NOT learning while scanning text on screens and doing CTRL F for word search?

The vulnerable readers and writings will absolutely suffer and get shuffled along b/c teachers can't be bothered.  Kids can neither write NOR type at this point.

The "Math facts" that you'd think MAYBE tech games / learning could help with don't work either.  Even my brightest kid doesn't have confident command of her multiplication tables they way we adults did by writing and copying over and over again.

The tech in the classroom increases bad behavior which then leads to teachers just assigning more so they will be quiet.  Textbooks, workbooks, pencils etc. are practically free compared to the wasted $$$ spent on "tech."

The notion that TECH is teaching kids about computers is also a joke.  They are apps and games.  No kids are learning about computer engineering.  That can be a high school class anyway.  WHAT A WASTE!!!!

Lastly, the whole-cloth move to tech by public and private schools alike (outlier no-tech schools notwithstanding) with NO research showing any data or tested means to implement expose the educational consultants, Big Tech, administrations and teachers who didn't say a peep as total frauds with no common sense.  I don't have to respect an entire swath of people who made such foolish decisions.  I knew better and said so from day one.  Why did no one on the inside of these organizations?

What a joke.  Our poor children - most especially the vulnerable students.[/quote]
