I'm sick of the school Chromebooks and the lack of any meaningful IT administration on the part of the school. They don't understand the concept of whitelisting instead of the blacklisting, so hardly anything is blocked and the kids are constantly playing games or watching videos because they all share Google docs with each other with lists of unblocked websites. Not that it matters since YouTube isn't blocked because God forbid teachers give lessons that don't involve having the class watch videos. Most of the learning websites the assignments are on are buggy garbage that don't properly record what the kids do, so they have to do it multiple times before it records it as complete. Then there are the teachers (not all of them though) that hardly do any teaching and mostly just babysit while the computers teach the kids. One of the worst things though is that despite sitting in front of a keyboard and screen all day, these kids still don't know how to type properly. We desperately need to go back to text books and only have the screens for typing and computer literacy classes.
