You know so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I actually would want to…HaHa). You certainly put a brand new spin on a subject that's been discussed for many years. Wonderful stuff, just excellent! <a href="https://www.repairtech.in/" rel="nofollow">onsite mobile repair bangalore</a> Aw, this was an extremely nice post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort to generate a great article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a lot and don't seem to get anything done. <a href="https://www.repairtech.in/asus-service-center/" rel="nofollow">asus display replacement</a> I’m amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s both educative and amusing, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head. The problem is an issue that not enough folks are speaking intelligently about.

If equity is a concern for the district, you would want students to be prepared for the types of jobs that will be around when they enter the workforce. According to <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/the-21-best-jobs-of-the-future-2015-12/#15-wholesale-and-manufacturing-sales-representatives-7" rel="nofollow">this list</a>, many of the best jobs will be in medical fields, computers, and a small selection of other fields (management, accounting, financial advisors, advertising, lawyers, electricians, elementary school teachers). <br /><br />So, how are we doing Seattle Public Schools? After school programming classes can cost several hundred dollars per term. Where's the equity in that? How well are we preparing today's students for those types of careers?Bikermannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-23952047504270206232017-03-16T17:10:00.869-07:002017-03-16T17:10:00.869-07:00Re: digital learning/textbooks

The districts aren't the ones saving money, it's the publishers that save on printing costs. They still charge ridiculous "licensing fees" that you have to pay over and over, year after year. With "real" textbooks you can use them for as long as the bindings hold together and the material stays accurate and relevant. With digital licenses, the minute you stop paying them or they go out of business you're out of luck.<br /><br />There are some advantages, in that it's easier to update content, but the direction publishers are trying to go with this stuff isn't to save schools money, but to make themselves more profitable. Or, in the case of Pearson, perhaps just profitable.<br /><br />And I'm sure I don't need to remind Melissa, but for everyone else, most of these digital learning companies also gather a TON of student data about how/when/where the kids are using and reading texts, how fast or well they read, what they understood, every possible bit of data they can mine, they mine. When they start having financial problems, like it sounds like Pearson is having, does anyone think they won't start trying to profit from that data? If they aren't already, that is.znoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-71661293094885087462017-03-16T11:25:02.500-07:002017-03-16T11:25:02.500-07:00So true, HF.

Students are asked to purchase novels for LA and donations are requested for World Language workbooks, lab fees, etc. My child received a used workbook and was left to erase pages in order to make use of it. Some of the world language texts are so dated that teachers need to tell them, that's not really how it's said now. Students print out digital versions of texts for history. It's pretty dire. Textbook budgets need to be taken out of school budgets and made into a district line item, so schools are not left to scrimp on basics such as textbooks. <br /><br />textbook starved<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-50682863374757596542017-03-16T10:59:41.244-07:002017-03-16T10:59:41.244-07:00@ Melissa, I'm not sure there's a big acce...@ Melissa, I'm not sure there's a big access difference between textbooks and digital learning. Your argument that "until every single child has a tablet or access at home to a computer, I'm not sure how that could be mandated" would make more sense if every student got physical textbooks now. In our experience, they don't. Classrooms often share copies, so you only have access at school as it is.<br /><br />HFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
