In the class room, pencil and paper is fine. They don’t need a computer provided by school districts to get their homework assignments.

They need to have the ability to write as well as know how to poke keys on a keyboard but writing is more important. Computers and networks crash all the time, pencil and paper don’t.

Computer skills are probably already being taught at home or in the class room. My two grandsons have computer classes starting in the 1st grade.

Most of the kids I see have cell phones anyway, why do they need a laptop provided by tax payers, as well.

My grandson’s parents had to get him a cell phone to get his homework assignments on, can’t the school just contact the parent?

I agree,but even the college applications and essays are done on a computer these days.

They are not “poking keys”,they are writing in a different way.
