I read ‘level the playing field’ not as a socialist agenda, but that ALL children will be motivated by this tool, regardless of age, ethnicity, abilities, gender, etc. There are so many apps for each and every child’s specific learning abilities, the possibilities for them to achieve successes on a daily basis are incalculable.
The alternate to using advanced technology in the classroom, taught by many liberal, nanny-state unionized teachers?? Just check out the standardized test scores across the nation. :*(
I found as a homeschooler that it is better to let kids be kids and save the fancy “tools” for later when they are more mature. I waited for a long time to give my daughter her calculator. Let them have the basics and make a firm foundation FIRST.
I also homeschooled because I cared about content. With apps and such, how much will be leftist drivel? How much will they edit? Will it be like the MSM? What else will be left out?
Getting the foundation right sets the stage for REAL learning, critical thinking and all else that goes to the foundation of freedom, academic freedom and even spiritual freedom. Use only one tool, and you will be limited to only that tool.
