[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Educational outcomes have gotten markedly worse since schools started introducing edtech. Yes, it would absolutely be better for kids not to have edtech. In the face of the data I don't know why anyone would support continuing to spend tax dollars on edtech unless they had a financial interest in edtech and are just that sociopathic that they don't care about the impact on kids.

Btw, at present, edtech is not monitored and kids are not protected from dangerous content. Therefore, edtech should not be in schools. If you are supporting the continued use of edtech in schools, you are supporting giving kids distracting and dangerous devices, and are a sociopath.[/quote]

I think we should start by teaching kids basic logic so they don't grow up to make arguments like the above.  [/quote]

You want kids to grow up to support spending tax dollars to enrich edtech companies whose products don't help kids learn because logic?[/quote]

NP I want edtech out of schools, but I also agree that the pp had a terrible argument. [/quote]

I support keeping edtech out of schools if we also test starting in kindergarten and create classrooms and cohorts based on test scores, so that more advanced kids don't have to spend instructional time learning things they already know. This is the ideal solution.

Absent that, high-quality [b]edtech in a safe and controlled environment is[/b] better than making kids who can already read chapter books learn phonics, or making gifted kids do basic math when they are capable of high-level, competition-style math.[/quote]

This doesn't exist..you are acting like it exists but it does not[/quote]
