    Ever hear of hyperbolic expressions? I was using one of those.

    Basic isn’t always best, especially when “back to basics” is outdated and impractical methods that unnecessarily favor some students over others by rejecting valuable tools and methods that will be crucial for life after school.

        First of all, we were talking about homework. By definition you don’t waste instruction time doing that in class. Second, you were insisting on it being handwritten as if it’s the 80s or earlier.

        Just give it a rest with the reactionary backwards reform ideas, grandpa.

          If a teacher needs to evaluate a student’s level of comprehension, they have students demonstrate their level of comprehension in class, I just don’t get what you think is a “reactionary backwards reform(?) idea.” Homework itself is largely an outdated and “primitive” teaching method that has shown to be counterproductive to student well-being and learning when applied indiscriminately. I never said anything about hand writing, the word “to write” means “to set down in writing.” Of course students could and should type their work lol
