Can’t do that anymore. Not in this modern digital school hell.
My kid gets a Chromebook for all their school work. Its their textbook, their worksheets, their quizzes, their tests. Everything is done through the Chromebook now, no paper and pencil. Can’t even request it (we tried)
Kid has told me that for many of the big tests, there is no “back” button. So, that whole test taking skill is defunct now. Isn’t that cool?
Also none of the kids can read/write or critically analyze anything because everything is ChatGPT now. The test are written by ChatGPT and if youre not also using it, you’ll just have worse grades. Arms race of cheating in school. Isn’t that cool?
Also the school doesnt give parents any admin control of the Chromebook. So you can’t set limits, or restrict access. Think social media is a pox? Well, the school doesnt, and you cant block it. Besides, half the lessons are just links to YouTube vids now… which inevitably turn to watching hours of brainrot instead.
Started uni just before covid and I swear I was the only one without a laptop, if I dont scratch that paper with my pen I can’t get anything inside my brain. Most of the time I wrote nothing and focused on the class because the PowerPoint was available online already. I was the only one walking out of lectures knowing what we just studied 🤦
