There should be 1 class for computer and tech. The rest of school can be done with pencil, paper, and a ruler.
Districts should stop playing the marketing game and spend money repairing buildings, buying up to date textbooks, and fucking paying teachers more.
I think writing by hand is overrated. Said as a person who wrote non stop as a kid, whole little novels by hand. Much hand cramps. Much pain. Now carpal tunnel . Grew up pre internet. It wasn’t from computers.
I can write the same shit on a laptop, and without smearing shit because I’m left handed.
Ok, but you need a laptop instead of a scrap of paper and a random pen. In many cases, it's just overkill.
