Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 getting a 100 on a memorization test, wasn't about getting the 100 it was teaching kids a bunch of different techniques, and seeing which ones worked for everyone

note taking was the same way, we'd learn a bunch of different systems, and aply them to projects
so lots of take home exercises
none of them really hard
but the grades on the projects were just supposed to be reflective of how well we were performing, to give us an "objective" metric to develop against
we had almost no busy work
we'd get free time on laptops or whatever
you had chromebooks Max
I saw them
We never had chromebooks
that started being a thing after my group graduated
also tbf Max
we had a computer lab with Apple computers
until 5th grade
when we got laptops
the old imacs
with the colored backs
yeah those

did you get many field trips
we went to the Richmond science museum in 5th grade
we had more, but that was out biggest one I think

K-12
I think my school did like 4-6 field trips a year
but some of them
were "walking field trips"
uh, we did
I got to go to the Toronto Symphony because the strings teacher kept inviting me
we took a trip to the NAtional Archives one year
another year we went to a plantation
and I think my science class did a trip to a swamp one year during hs
different year we went to a lake
Oh and we went to the science center a few times
usually for Math or History
National Archives was a top experience for us
because we just got let loose in DC
with a meetup point, and buddy system
