(unironically a fire hazard)

TinyBomby May 8, 2025 11:44 AM general

you had chromebooks in middle school?...

taxes May 8, 2025 11:44 AM general

im 22

taxes May 8, 2025 11:45 AM general

my county was one of the first in the country to adopt chromebooks

taxes May 8, 2025 11:45 AM general

to be clear

TinyBomby May 8, 2025 11:45 AM general

I forgot that's a thing now. I'm remembering now my cousins' children have chromebooks that they take home as well.

my county was one of the first in the country to adopt chromebooks

iirc google first offered it heavily in the east coast like virginia, nc, and maryland

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:46 AM general

I had chromebooks in like 5th grade

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:47 AM general

I think

TinyBomby May 8, 2025 11:47 AM general

I'm still really not a fan of giving kids chromebooks. I guarantee you there's no way they're paying as much attention in class when they have a computer in front of them

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:47 AM general

Maybe 4th

taxes May 8, 2025 11:47 AM general

yeah around then is when they spread pretty hard

legorhin May 8, 2025 11:47 AM general

is there any data supporting chromebooks having a positive benefit on standardized test scores?

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:47 AM general

They did WHAT?>

pen and paper is retarded

Dialga May 8, 2025 11:47 AM general

when i was in school we got Macbooks

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:47 AM general

I promise I am not a child

TinyBomby May 8, 2025 11:48 AM general

pen and paper is dumb, I never took notes in class either, but I still had no other distractions, so I actually did pay attention sometimes.

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:48 AM general

Well, the way we did chromebooks was there was a cart

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:48 AM general

and you put it in there at the beginning of the day

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:48 AM general

and you can only get it out at alloted times

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:48 AM general

Which was usually more when we were doing things that actually required computers

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:49 AM general

IE some sort of website, "typing practice", kahoot

taxes May 8, 2025 11:49 AM general

chromebooks dont support internet explorer though

computers were never needed in anything outside of advanced science courses for me

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:50 AM general

Yeah, back in 5th grade I needed them for my astrophysics and shit

Yeah I really did not need a computer until I was using specific software for classes, like simulation projects.

legorhin May 8, 2025 11:52 AM general

chromebooks are just more overspending on students for likely no measurable improvements

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:53 AM general

I think the idea of getting kids used to computers makes sense

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:53 AM general

However a chromebook isnt a computer

TinyBomby May 8, 2025 11:53 AM general

Back in my day, we had a day where we would go to a specific computer lab to practice stuff like typing!

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:54 AM general

We had that too

legorhin May 8, 2025 11:54 AM general

I hear about zoomers not knowing how to navigate directories

TinyBomby May 8, 2025 11:54 AM general

why did you have that AND chromebooks?

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:54 AM general

For when the computer lab was in use

taxes May 8, 2025 11:54 AM general

its not about typing, its about being able to check your own grades and a list of assignments and seeing them assigned and communication with teachers in real time/from home thats

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:54 AM general

ALSO we had to take the chromebooks home for homework

taxes May 8, 2025 11:54 AM general

the big benefit imo

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:54 AM general

it was so people who didnt have computers couldnt say IM TOO POOR

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:55 AM general

Do not give poor people an out, based!!!

TinyBomby May 8, 2025 11:55 AM general

I don't remember ever having any assignments that required a computer until college

legorhin May 8, 2025 11:56 AM general

I had to type some long reports in high school

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:56 AM general

We would have do reports and such on google docs

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:57 AM general

It's good for the environment to not use paper

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:57 AM general

Have you no heart

TinyBomby May 8, 2025 11:57 AM general

I do not!

legorhin May 8, 2025 11:57 AM general

paper is such a fake environmental thing

TinyBomby May 8, 2025 11:57 AM general

Even if I typed a report, I still had to print it out and submit it in person.

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:57 AM general

We had to do that for reports

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:58 AM general

Homework we just sent in

TinyBomby May 8, 2025 11:58 AM general

yeah all my homewrok until college was hand written

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:59 AM general

I need the smiling friends clip where the guy says "you're so old where are your kids"

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:59 AM general

It's okay though, no matter how old you are you are certainly younger than Spooky

I'm not even that much older than you. I wonder if the West coast was just that much slower in implementing things.

Rusp May 8, 2025 12:00 PM general

I'm only 2 older than you

Rusp May 8, 2025 12:00 PM general

decades

Sorry, that was supposed to be like a "back and forth" style comic, but I suppose the point is not put across well when it is through the medium of discord text.

RIBA May 8, 2025 12:09 PM general

I’m still telling you to do it

Rusp May 8, 2025 12:10 PM general

Be careful what you wish for what would you do if I actually did that huh

Phijkchu_Pikachu May 8, 2025 1:01 PM general

My class was one of the demo test classes for giving students laptops

Phijkchu_Pikachu May 8, 2025 1:01 PM general

I don't even think it was chromebooks yet, don't know if they existed

Phijkchu_Pikachu May 8, 2025 1:01 PM general

at least in Canada I was one of the first students apart of that experiment

Phijkchu_Pikachu May 8, 2025 1:03 PM general

I think it was a lenovo thinkpad

Rusp May 8, 2025 1:04 PM general
