[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Working printers and copiers in the schools (and not refurbished ones that are still completely broken) and basic classroom set up supplies for all classes would be a better use of money.[/quote]

Some textbooks would be nice too so they don't need as many copies.[/quote]

Or maybe even go paperless! Join the 21st century and do the planet a favor![/quote]

Some kids learn better with textbooks, like mine and paper ones.  If you are so worried about the planet, try virtual school - much better for the environment as well.  And, its all online.   No buses, no school building, etc.[/quote]

If you spent one day in an elementary school, you’d recognize the extraordinary amount of waste that occurs. Even the kids get it. It’s not 1990 anymore and students can turn assignments in online while being in person. The only people uncomfortable with this IS the older adults. [/quote]
Oh boy! [i]More [/i]screen time![/quote]

Grow up. They spend the entire lesson learning and being interactive with their peers. When it comes to their assignments, the turn on their Chromebooks. They are monitored. When they are finished, they close their Chromebooks and read a book until the next instruction begins. Same exact thing they’d do with wasted paper. They still write on a daily basis in their journals and for drafts, math,etc..It’s not the crisis you are hysterical about. MoCo parents just want things to be upset about without using their brains.[/quote]

That’s not how it works at our school and they are on the computer the entire time.  What book are you talking about?   We don’t get books except the ones we buy.  Mcps books are all online. There is no writing in journals, all typed online.  [/quote]

Free reading books. If they don’t have one, our classroom has one. Name your school because I certainly don’t believe you. Also, technology isn’t the devil. We would all be writing on stone tablets still if we didn’t evolve. It’s a good thing kids are learning to use it. [/quote]

Edited to add: grade levels can purchase supplies. We purchase composition books for each subject. It’s not a difficult concept. [/quote]
