I'm quite sad repl.it is used in schools, as its accessibility for the blind is almost nonexistent, or at least it was when I last checked it a few months ago.

They have enough lock in with the collaboration and sharing features that just using a different tool might be difficult.
This is plain old discrimination against disabled students. Don't do it.
- Aeolun 6y agoThere is no profit in supporting the blind.
- thawab 6y ago- Does the blind in the schools you mentioned want to learn programing and their only choice is repl.it? - if the answer is yes, how many blind people are there in these schools? - what was used in these schools before repl.it? did it help the blind? - when schools used repl.it did it help all students more than the old system?
- buzzerbetrayed 6y agoThis is silly. Your argument is purely based comparisons. If there is a tool that helps 99% of students learn better, don't refuse to use the tool just because it can't help the 1%. I'm NOT saying to forget about the 1%. Also do everything you can to help the 1%. But the 99% shouldn't be artificially slowed down just so they don't get ahead of the 1%. Sorry if that's controversial. Just seems ridiculous to me to prevent people from learning in whatever way is most effective to them.
