[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I tell kids to put laptops away (or I take them) all the time. You’re caught watching YouTube instead of graphing on desmos?

Cool, guess you’re solving polynomial equations by hand for the rest of class and you can wait to go to the bathroom until passing period. Make better choices next class.[/quote]

NP.  Bad example, parents can’t relate.  I’ve gone back to paper tests. No more Schoology assessments. They were not good for math and an educational fad we were forced to implement.

This means they can’t use Desmos (the online calculator that solved too much), will need to go back to problem solving and I’ve done back to adding a TI-84 or equivalent to their supply list.  You will need to buy one for their HS class.

Online tests were nothing but problems and they found a way to cheat.  They need to work out problems for math. And yes, they played games, watched YouTube and everything else despite all of our lockdowns.  [/quote]

That sounds amazing!   Thank you for actually trying to teach these kids!

My kids are younger, but I've been appalled by how much time they spend on the computer at school in elementary school.  Glad to hear there is hope yet![/quote]
