I studied things without technology. I take notes on pen and paper

It's weird that we don't consider the mass production of cheap paper and quality pens/pencils a technology.

analog classrooms work better than this chromebook hellhole

I'm not going to become an Evangelical for Ctrl+F because I don't think it's worth the fight.

But I will say an analog classroom with 8 students taught by a professional teacher five days a week is vastly superior to an analog classroom with 40 students taught by a TA three days a week.

Do with that what you will.
