My kids are in grade 3 and 6 and nobody ever taught them to type. They just handed them a Chromebook and assumed they know what they're doing.
It is a skill, but everybody seems to think it will just happen on its own.
- toast0 5mo agoThe problem is everyone knows you learn to type when you get on IRC, but you can't put elementary school kids on IRC.
- doubled112 5mo agoWhy not? I was in elementary school on IRC. ASL ;-) ?
- toast0 5mo agoI'm sure you turned out fine. But the school district can't put a bunch of kids on IRC, it'll look bad.
- breppp 5mo agoI wouldn't put any kids through some of the stuff I've seen on IRC
- wink 4mo agoI wouldn't put my IRC friends through some of the stuff I've seen in school. /s
- toast0 4mo agoIt is pretty harsh when the whole channel uses a text changer script to write upside down. Especially with modern computing... if the remaining person does flip their chromebook so they can see it it might auto rotate and everything is still upside down.
