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

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.

Rusp May 8, 2025 12:07 PM general

No I put it in quotes therefore I did not say it

Rusp May 8, 2025 12:08 PM general

Rusp May 8, 2025 12:08 PM general

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

anytime something starts with len I can only read lennod

Phijkchu_Pikachu May 8, 2025 1:04 PM general

This was grade 9 for me for the record

Phijkchu_Pikachu May 8, 2025 1:04 PM general

I think actual adoption of chromebooks started once I graduated

legorhin May 8, 2025 1:05 PM general

you can actually do things other than browse the internet with thinkpads

polu May 8, 2025 1:05 PM general

We got thinkpads at my high school

Phijkchu_Pikachu May 8, 2025 1:06 PM general

yeah that would track then Polu since we are the same age demo, and you guys just getting them earlier because you went to a private school versus me just being a testcase

polu May 8, 2025 1:06 PM general

I think my highschool started doing laptops in 2000

legorhin May 8, 2025 1:07 PM general

I used thinkpads in early programming courses in undergrad
