He forgot it at school all the time, but it didn’t matter since he didn’t have any homework. He finished it all at school.

I assumed that they would have more in-depth instruction and more homework in high school, so they be less busy work on the computer during the day and actual homework at night they might require the laptop.

There really is this too much time during the day when they’re on a screen, why are they not having discussions or instruction, and leave the writing of essays to homework?


Because of the way they do block scheduling, they often leave time in class to work on assignments. And there is group work which usually involves a stupid shared google doc, even if they are discussing the project in person.
