[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ha! This is such old news. My high school junior did this in 3rd grade.. When I realized how much of his day was wasted goofing around on a Chromebook, I enrolled him in private school that used textbooks and workbooks. They actually went through each textbook and workbook cover to cover sequentially so it was so easy to know what your child was studying and what they were going to study next.  It was a religious school but it was the cheapest private school we could find near us and we aren’t even religious.

Best thing ever for him to spend 4th-8th grade at a school with very little technology and where phones were banned except from when the final bell rang to 10 minutes after pickup so students could connect with parents picking up or letting parents know if they were staying for aftercare. Any other time any adult saw a phone it was immediately confiscated.

They really need to bring back textbooks and workbooks! It is so much easier to track assignments and tell how much work your child is doing in class. [/quote]

Textbooks and workbooks are great for the average student, but don’t work for most MCPS classrooms where differentiation is required. It negatively impacts the advanced learners as much as the student who is struggling. Purely from the standpoint of a teacher whose rosters are 25% twice exceptional learners, textbooks and workbooks would not serve a quarter of my students. Those students would be visually singled out with photocopied classwork while everyone else worked in a bound copy. [/quote]

Whatever MCPS is doing is not working. 60% of kids graduate not proficient in math and 40% graduate not proficient in ELA. A new approach is needed. How much does MCPS spend on edtech?[/quote]
