    They should be using tablets. Wax tablets. It was good enough for my great-to-the-nth-grandfather, so it’s good enough for kids today.

      Foolish comment. Wax tablets didn’t have social media, three million notifications, tracking and spying features, countless distractions, updates, power, and connectivity requirements.

          It’s not wrong to question whether any actual learning is taking place on “devices” regardless of whether they’re ubiquitous. It’s easy to pick up how to use a device after you know how to read and do math, much harder to learn the former when you’re an expert at navigating menus on a device. Maybe this is why 4th grade math skills haven’t returned to pre-pandemic levels…

          Also don’t woosh me. Are you going to skibidy next?
