LOL, yeah..., they should have to bring their tablet from school/home.
This is just crazy to me.
If I could make do with pencil and paper, they could.
It is incredible how people can’t get stuff done without a calculator (including those on a cellphone or computer); calculators don’t teach theory, they provide a shortcut.
Then again, I’ve hear some kids can’t tie shoes because they’ve only had those with Velcro across the top, and some can’t tell time on a regular clock face...
New York State should put more effort into making these kids stay in school and complete their education. In New York State, you can quit school at age 16 without your parent’s permission. At least that’s the way it used to be. A large number of NY’s inmates are dropouts, and although there are GED programs, many don’t make use of them. It’s easier to slide by and be paid for being a porter pushing brooms and mops.
