i’m specifically unhappy with the technology investment. I don’t see that the kids are more tech savvy, and i see no proof that US high school students are performing better than they were in years past, so why is the tech being pushed? Why not pay teachers better or improve school lunches a little bit? Why? “guranteeed technology access for students” - that’s great, and was useful during covid remote learning, but that was an exceptional circumstance. I don’t see why a computer lab with 5-10 year old computers isn’t sufficient to learn how to use a word processor? Since we’re setting the tech literacy bar that low… My impression is this is a gigantic headache with very very little benefit: https://www.edweek.org/technology/chromebooks-short-lifespan-costs-schools-billions-of-dollars-report-finds/2023/04 https://www.edweek.org/technology/chromebooks-short-lifespan... Don’t think we’ll see eye to eye on this. :) thanks for the thoughtful response though.
