I know the article mentions these, but it's time to bring back oral exams and handwritten-in-class essays
I could never write essays by hand. Too often I would write out a paragraph just to read it, break it up, and subsequently rewrite both parts.
That's why you gotta write your outline first!
Nah man, waterfall technique applies to everything.
One typewriter for you
Anyone else hoping for typewriters to come back, some with new designs? Just me?
I like the ones where you could correct your mistakes because it put out the caracters after you pressed Return.
too modern, I know...
Chromebooks these days have locked down modes for tests where you can only acess the test and maybe desmos, I think newer AP tests are done this way at the highschool I went to.
What about those with dysgraphia? Are we going to punish the teacher who has to read that mess? Lol
Yay, lets punish the kid with tremors in their hand and lose 20 points for no fucking reason 🙃
The good ol' days of ableist school admins
I doubt a kid with tremors would be unable to get an exception made for them. I have tremors and in the mid 2000s my teachers were offering me test taking options like computers and other methods.
I always refused because I was stubborn.
Nah fuck that shit I was so glad when everything moved to computers in schools. Kids are never gonna need to handwrite or speak in their lives, they need typing practice.
Downvoted for speaking the truth. Can't wait till I don't have to write a signature on a check anymore, it doesn't even fucking matter.
