If we are talking about high schools and mainly technical high schools banning tech is contrary to the point of the school. I think a balanced view is better: carrying laptops on classes where you need them and also adapt classes if laptop could be beneficial.
Even in elementary school, my child has robotics.
In general, I think politicians use binary yes/no options because they are lazy and/or incapable of working or thinking harder.
- nonrandomstring 3y agoIt seems common to confuse teaching children about technology and having children taught by technology. The former is essential to a modern economy and way of life. The latter is road to laziness, poor mental health and terrible learning outcomes.
- wslh 3y agoAgree 100%. The problem is that politics is the slowest and more incompetent mile . And here we are not talking about really complex issues like wars and/or terrorism.
- logifail 3y ago> laptops on classes where you need them Apart from lessons directly about computing and/or technology - of which there may be a handful of hours per week in a regular highschool - the number of subjects which "need a laptop" in high school is vanishingly small. > politicians use binary yes/no options because they are lazy and/or incapable of working or thinking harder Lobbyists don't even use binary. They're always pushing their product.
- kuschku 3y agoA lot of natural sciences classes benefit from doing experiments. And those are much easier and more rewarding when you've got probes connected to different parts of the experiment logging their data to a laptop. My old high school used the LabPro/LoggerPro platform for that, and it became a core part of how physics and chemistry was taught. https://www.vernier.com/product/labpro/ https://www.vernier.com/product/labpro/
